May 28th, 1988

After an amazing game yesterday, we are still in Philadelphia and the Giants are pitching Willie Fraser (1-2, 4.50) against the Phillies and Pete Smith (1-4, 5.77).

I have limited exposure to Smith, going 1 for 4.

I opened up the game by grounding out to Alfredo Griffin at 2nd.

The Phillies struck quickly with Tim Raines scoring on a Griffin single. Then Dwight Evans homered, with still nobody out. With one out, Von Hayes also homered.

Phillies lead 4-0

In the 2nd Mike LaValliere score on a Griffin single.
That was enough for Jim, who gave Willie the hook for Andy McGaffigan.
I made a very good play to get Evans for the 2nd out, but Raines scored on the play.

Phillies lead 6-0

I came up with one out in the 3rd and I earned a walk. Stolen base #32. I advanced to 3rd on a Mike Aldrete groundout, but was left there.

The Phils threatened to score again in the 3rd but a Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play got Kenny Oberkfell and LaValliere to end the inning.

In the 4th Raines scored on a Griffin double. Griffin ended up scoring on a Hayes single.

Phillies lead 8-0

I came up in the 5th with two out and John Rabb on 2nd. I popped out to Griffin.

I got the 1st out in the bottom half, off a grounder by Kenny O. I made another sweet play on a Griffin grounder for the 3rd out.

Bobby Thigpen took over not he mound for us in the 6th.

In the 7th Bobby surprised everyone by clocking a two run homer after Chris Brown pinch hit for Brian Giles and got on.
I came up with two out and hit one off the centre field wall for a triple!
I was unable to score.

Phillies lead 8-2

In the bottom half, Walt Weiss scored on a LaValliere single.

Phillies lead 9-2

In the 8th Griffin scored on a Bo Jackson sac fly.
I handled a Hayes grounder for the 2nd out.
Pinch hitter Francisco Melendez scored on a single by Kenny O.
I took a LaValliere grounder for the 3rd out.

Phillies lead 11-2

In the 9th Chris hit a solo homer.

We lost 11-3

I went 1 for 3 with a triple, a walk, and a stolen base.

After the game we heard that Alan Cockrell was back from Phoenix and Greg Litton was going back down.
