June 11th, 1988

We shut out the Reds yesterday... what about today?

The Giants are pitching Willie Fraser (1-3, 5.79).

The Reds have Scott Terry (4-4, 5.05).

I have done very well in limited action against Terry, going 3 for 4.

The Reds going nobody on in the 1st and then I led off for our side by striking out.
Mike Aldrete singled and scored on a Robby Thompson single. Then Chili Davis scored on a Bob Brenly single.

Giants lead 2-0

I then came up with two out in the 2nd and grounded out to Curt Wilkerson at 2nd.

The 4th went well for us.
Robby led off with a single.
With one out, Steve Stanicek singled.
Brian Giles walked, loading the bases.
Willie doubled, scoring Robby and Steve!
I singled, scoring Brian!
Mike singled, scoring Willie and me!

Giants lead 7-0

I came up in the 6th with none out and Willie on 1st. Charlie Puleo was the pitcher. I struck out.

I made my first defensive play in the 7th, handling a groundball from pinch hitter Wade Rowdon for the 2nd out. I then took care of a Kurt Stillwell fielder's choice ball for the 1st out in the 8th. A Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play took care of Wilkerson and Tim McIntosh to end the inning.

I came up with one out in the 8th, now facing Rob Dibble. I grounded out to Stillwell at short.

I took care of an Al Newman grounder for the 2nd out in the 9th.

Willie ended up with a three-hit shutout as we blanked the Reds for the 2nd day in a row!

I went 1 for 5 with a single, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base.

The shuttle was going again as Alan Cockrell headed back to Phoenix and Greg Litton was called up.
