April 11th, 1989

We've got the Dodgers again and they are pitching Ken Howell (0-1, 5.68).

The Giants are going with Scott Garrelts (1-0,2.57).

I have gone 4 for 13 against Howell. My hand is still hurting but I am good to go.

I led off for the home side and I lined one into right for a single.
With one out I grabbed stolen base #3.
I moved to 3rd on a Ruben Sierra single.
Rob Deer walked, to load them up.
The next two guys struck out. Ugh.

I grabbed a Brian Deak grounder to end the top of the 2nd.

I did the same to Tim Wallach to end the top of the 3rd.

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by grounding out to Kent Hrbek at 1st.

I came up next with one out in the 5th and lined out to Gene Larkin in right.
Robby Thompson followed me with a home run!

Giants lead 1-0

Jeff Robinson took over for us in the 7th.
I took care of a Dave Anderson grounder for the 2nd out.

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

The Dodgers took the lead in the 8th when Steve Sax smacked a two run homer. It got worse when Wallach did the same thing.
Jim went to Dave Miller after that.
Just to drag things out, we had a rain delay after that which lasted over a half hour.

Dodgers lead 4-1

Willie Fraser took the mound for us in the 9th.
He gave up and RBI single to Wallach that scored Deak.
He later walked Larkin with the bases loaded for another run.
I got him out of it with a play on a Domingo Michel grounder.

Dodgers lead 6-1

I led off our lat chance, facing Frank DiPino. I flew out to Chili Davis in left.

We couldn't score and we were back to .500

I went 1 for 5 with a single and a stolen base.
