February 28th, 1989
It is the Giants with Rick Sutcliffe against the Astros and Chris Hammond.
I led off the home half by flying out to Calvin James in left.
I caught a Craig Worthington pop for the 1st out in the 2nd.
I came up in the 3rd with one out and Alan Cockrell on 2nd. I flew out to James again.
Scott Service took over not he mound for us in the 5th. Steve Stanicke took over in CF for Luis Medina at the same time.
The Astros opened the scoring in the 6th when Bill Doran and James scored on a single by Dickie Thon. I took care of a Tony Barron grounder to end the threat.
Astros lead 2-0
I led off the bottom half against Mike Dowless. I reached on an error to Worthington at 3rd. Mike Aldrete walked. I scored on a Ruben Sierra single. Mike ended up scoring on a Robby Thompson sac fly to tie it up.
Game tied 2-2
Jeff Robinson took over in the 7th.
We turned a nice Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Wiley Lee and Rance Mulliniks.
I was lifted for a pinch hitter in the 7th.
We ended up losing 6-2 in 12 innings.
