August 24th, 1988

We finish off our series against the Expos today. We are going for the sweep.

Montreal is pitching Wally Whitehurst (8-12, 5.07).

The Giants have Willie Fraser (4-8, 3.65).

I have had good success against Whitehurst, going 5 for 11.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by striking out.

I next came up with two out in the 3rd and I struck out again!

The Expos struck first in the 4th when Doug Snyder and Brian Dayett scored on a Chris Sabo double. Sabo then scored on a Mike Maksudian sac fly.

Expos lead 3-0

We got on the board in the 5th when Brian Giles scored on a double by pinch hitter Robby Thompson.
I came up with Robby on 2nd and two out. I grounded out to Jose Oquendo at 2nd.

Expos lead 3-1

Jeff Robinson took up pitching duties for us in the 6th.

I came up with one out in the 8th and grounded out to Oquendo again.

Scott Garrelts came in to pitch the 9th.

I finally got a play that frame, handling a Russ McGinnis grounder for the 3rd out.

We were unable to score and dropped the game.

I went 0 for 4.

Disappointing all around.

It was good to visit with the family, as always, but they are heading back to Victoria tomorrow and the team is off to New York.
