April 16th, 1989

We lost the first game of the double header so we need to bear down and salvage the day.

Now the Braves are pitching Len Damian (0-1, 13.50).

The Giants have Scott Sanderson (0-1, 22.50).

Both are looking for a bounce back game.

I have done well against Damian, going 5 for 15.

The Braves struck quickly, plating Ken Griffey Jr. and Lonnie Smith on a Gary Sheffield single in the 1st.
I took care of a Rex Hudler grounder to end the frame.

Braves lead 2-0

I led off our half by working a free pass.
Keith Hernandez bunted me over to 2nd.
I was left there.

I have to say, I am getting a little annoyed at how rarely I am given the green light to steal so far this year.

In the 2nd, Robby Thompson connected with a solo homer.

Braves lead 2-1

I came up with one out in the 3rd and flew out to Griffey Jr. in centre.

In the 4th, Willie Darkis hit one out with the bases empty.

Braves lead 3-1

I came up in the 5th with two out, Jim Presley on 2nd, and Scott on 1st. I walked, loading the bases.
Keith singled to centre, moving everyone up one base and scoring Jim.
That is all we could get.

Braves lead 3-2

In the 6th Robby singled, stole 2nd, and scored on a double by Jim, tying the game.

Game tied 3-3

I led off the bottom of the 7th by hitting one into left for a single, extending my hit streak to 12 games.
Finally. Stolen base #4.
I scored on a double by Ruben Sierra.

Giants lead 4-3

In the 8th, Jim switched in Mark Davis to pitch. He also double switched in Steve Stanicek for Luis Medina in centre.

I came up in the bottom of the 8th in a big situation. One out. Duane Ward pitching. Robby was on 3rd. Jim was on 2nd. Steve was on 1st.
I hit a dribble back to the pitcher and they got Robby at the plate. I was safe on a fielder's choice.
Keith did no better.

We couldn't get the insurance but Mark didn't need, getting rid of all three batters he faced in the 9th and we had the split.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, two walks, a run scored, and a stolen base.

Tomorrow the Padres are coming to town.
