April 10th, 1989

It is our home opener in San Francisco!

My hand is still sore, but I wouldn't miss this game for anything!

The Dodgers are here and they are pitching Mike Witt (1-0, 7.94).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (1-0, 1.23).

I have gone 3 for 12 against Witt.

The Dodgers struck right away as Chili Davis scored on a Kent Hrbek double. Then Tim Wallach scored on a Benito Santiago ground out.

Dodgers lead 2-0

I led off the home half by grounding out to Dave Anderson at short.

I made a great play on an Anderson grounder to open the 2nd, but Mike Aldrete dropped the ball at 1st! Luckily it didn't cost us.

I took care of a Gene Larkin grounder for the 1st out in the 4th.

I led off the bottom of the 4th with an infield single - our first hit of the game. Mike hit into a double play to erase me.

In the 5th, Steve Sax scored on a sac fly by Wallach.
I handled a Hrbek grounder for the 3rd out.

Dodgers lead 3-0

In the 6th I took care of a grounder from Witt with a man on 3rd to end the frame.

I came up with one out in the bottom half and I reached on a throwing error by Wallach.
I moved to 2nd on a ground out by Mike but got no further.

I caught a Sax pop for the 1st out in the 7th.

Rob Deer led off the bottom half with a home run.
Ruben Sierra scored when pinch hitter Keith Hernandez hit into a double play.
I came up with two out and Steve Stanicek on 3rd and Luis Medina on 2nd. I lined one into right centre to score Steve!

Game tied 3-3!

Bobby Thigpen took over on the mound for us in the 8th.
I took care of a Santiago grounder for the 1st out.
With one out, the Dodgers loaded the bases, and then Bobby walked Domingo Michel to give back the lead.
With the bases still loaded, I took care of a Sax grounder to end the inning.

Dodgers lead 4-3

In the 9th Mark Davis came in to pitch and Jim Presley replaced Mike at 1st in a double switch.
Mark got his four guys but we were unable to score in our half and dropped the game to L.A.

That isn't the right way to celebrate a Home Opener!

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles.
