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.
