May 3rd, 1989

The Pirates are in town and they brought Mike Bielecki (2-2, 3.94).

The Giants are answering with Frank Viola (3-1, 2.72).

I have only gone 4 for 17 against Bielecki.

I got in the action right away, taking care of a Bip Roberts grounder for the 1st out.
Unfortunately the inning didn't stay that good as Dave Winfield blasted a two run homer.

Pirates lead 2-0

I led off for our side and grounded out to Charlie Montoyo at 3rd.

We got not he board in the 2nd when Keith Hernandez scored on a Luis Medina single.

Pirates lead 2-1

I got the 3rd out in the 3rd off a Winfield grounder.

I came up in the bottom half with two out and I grounded out to Montoyo again.

I caught an Ozzie Smith pop for the 3rd out in the 5th.

In the bottom frame I came up with two out and Luis on 1st. I walked on four straight but we were both left.

I got the 2nd out in the 6th off another Winfield grounder.

I came up in the 7th with two out and Frank on 2nd. Clay Parker was now pitching. I flew out to Lee Stevens in centre.

After Frank walked the 1st guy in the 9th, Jim went to Bobby Thigpen.

With a man on and me standing on-deck, Steve Stanicek pinch hit and struck out. We lost, 2-1.

I went 0 for 3 with a walk.
