June 7th, 1988

The Braves are in town and they are pitching Brian Fisher (3-4, 4.70).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (6-3, 2.02).

I have done very well against Fisher, going 5 for 10.

I led off the home half by legging out an infield hit. With one out I got stolen base #42. I got no further.

I came up with two out in the 3rd and walked on four pitches. Stolen base #43. I was left there.

I handles a Jeff Blauser fielder's choice ball for the 2nd out in the 4th.

In the 5th the Braves cracked the egg, with John Russell scoring on a Milt Thompson single.

Braves lead 1-0

I got the 2nd out in the 6th off a Gary Sheffield grounder.

I led off in the 6th, by putting one up the middle for a single. Mike Aldrete followed with a double play.

I got the first guy in the 7th, Russell, with a grounder. I then did the same to Thompson for the 3rd.

Things turned around for us that inning. Rob Deer reached on an error and then Ruben Sierra replaced him with a fielder's choice. Robby Thompson singled and Bob Brenly walked. Another error and Ruben scored and Brian Giles was on. Rick singled, scoring Robby and Bob. I hit into a fielders choice off Ken Dayley.

Giants lead 3-1

Then the Braves loaded them up in the 8th. Andres Galarraga scored on a Sheffield sac fly. Ken Griffey Jr. scored on a Blauser single, tying the game.

Game tied 3-3

Rick walked pinch hitter Gerald Perry to lead off the 9th and was then pulled for Mark Davis. Perry ended up scoring on a Griffey sac fly.

Braves lead 4-3

Duane Ward shut us down and we had the loss.

I went 2 for 3 with a pair of singles, a walk, and two stolen bases. My batting average is back to .307
