May 16th, 1988

The Phillies are in town and are pitching Mike Morgan (3-2, 4.12).
The Giants are pitching Frank Viola (5-2, 2.53).

I am ice cold right now, but I have gone 2 for 2 against Morgan.

I led off the home half of the game by making that 3 for 3 with an infield single. With two out I went to 3rd when Rob Deer reached on an error to Von Hayes in centre. We were unable to cash in.

We got not he board in the 2nd when Bob Brenly doubled and scored on a Brian Giles single.
I came up with two out and Brian on 1st. I grounded out to Walt Weiss at short.

Giants lead 1-0

The Phillies got it back in the 3rd when Tim Raines launched a two run dinger.

Phillies lead 2-1

I made my first defensive play in the 5th, taking a Raines grounder for the 3rd out.

I then came up with one out and grounded out to Dwight Evans at 1st.

In the 6th Evans scored on a Bo Jackson triple.

Phillies lead 3-1

Scott Garrelts took over for us in the 8th after Frank left for a pinch hitter.
We walked Evans and then Jackson hit a home run.

Phillies lead 5-1

I led off the bottom of the 8th by grounding out to Ken Oberkfell at 3rd.

Mark Davis came in to pitch the 9th.
He gave up a run when pinch hitter Keith Hughes scored on a single by Alfredo Griffin. Then Evans hit a two run blast.

Phillies lead 8-1

And there it stayed.

This was not the turn around we needed.

I went 1 for 4 with a single. I am down to .324
