June 8th, 1988
Game two of the Braves' visit to San Francisco.
They are pitching Tom Glavine (5-4, 3,27).
The Giants have Eric Show (6-4, 2.65).
I have done decently against Glavine, going 8 for 29, or .276, including a home run.
I led off our half by flying out to Milt Thompson in right.
Nelson Santovenia led off the 2nd with a homer.
Braves lead 1-0
In the bottom half, Brian Gile scored on a double by Eric with two out. Then I came up and lined out to Ken Griffey Jr. in centre.
Game tied 1-1
Atlanta got back on top in the 5th when Jeff Blauser scored on a double by Glavine.
Braves lead 2-1
I came up with one out in the 5th and managed an infield single. With two out I got stolen base #44. I was left.
I caught a Brad Komminsk flare for the 1st out in the 7th. I grabbed a grounder from Thompson for the 3rd.
In the 8th I handled a Ron Gant grounder for the 3rd out.
I led off in the 8th by flying out to Thompson again.
I took care of a Santovenia ground error the 1st out in the 9th.
In the 9th Ruben Sierra scored on a Brian Giles single. I came up with two out and two on, but couldn't get it done against Duane Ward.
Game tied 2-2... going to extras.
Mark Davis came in to pitch for us in the 10th.
In the bottom of the 10th Mike Aldrete was hit by a Steve Farr pitch to lead off. He moved to 2nd on a fly ball and moved to 3rd on a groundout. He then scored on an error by Farr to win the game!
We won 3-2.
I went 1 for 5 with a single and a stolen base.
