August 6th, 1988

I had a great day yesterday. Let's see if I can keep it going.

The Braves are pitching Tom Glavine (8-10, 3.76).

The Giants have our Ace, Frank Viola (12-7, 2.06).

I have done well against Glavine, going 11 for 36, or .306, with a home run.

I kicked off the game by hitting a soft one down the third base line for an infield single. I then scored on a hit & run double by Mike Aldrete. Mike then scored on a single by Chili Davis. Chili ended up scoring on a single by Ruben Sierra and Jim Presley scored on a single by Robby Thompson.

Good start!

Giants lead 4-0

I got the 1st out in the bottom half off a fielder's choice grounder by Ken Griffey Jr. We then got Junior and Andres Galarraga with a Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play.

I came up with one out in the 2nd and walked on ELEVEN pitches. Stolen base #97. I took 3rd on a groundout by Mike, but was left there.

I next came up with one out in the 4th and I lined out to Milt Thompson in right.

I got the last out in the inning, grabbing a tough Jeff Blauser grounder to save a run.

I came up in the 6th with two out and Alan Cockrell on 3rd. I walked again. Stolen base #98. We were both left.

The Braves for on the board in the 6th when Gary Sheffield scored on a Galarraga single and Chili error. Then Griffey Jr. scored on a Blauser single.

Giants lead 4-2

I caught a Thompson pop for the 1st out in the bottom of the 7th.

With one out in the 8th, Galarraga hit a massive home run.

Giants lead 4-3

I lead off the 9th with Ken Dayley on the mound. I walked for the third time today. I tried to steal again but was cut down on a pitchout.

Frank ended up with eleven strikeouts and the complete game win.

I went 1 for 2 with a single, three walks, a run scored, and two stolen bases.
