May 4th, 1989

Today the Pirates are pitching Richard Dotson (2-1, 2.22) and the Giants have Bruce Ruffin (1-2, 4.50).

I have gone 9 for 27 against Dotson.

I got the 2nd out of the game, taking care of a fielder's choice ball by Kirk Gibson.

I then led off the home half by popping out to Bip Roberts at 2nd.

I made nice grab on a Sid Bream liner for the 1st out in the 2nd.
We finished the frame with a nice Thompson - Priske - Hernandez double play to erase James McCollom and Charlie Montoyo.

I came up with two out in the 3rd and I grounded out to Ozzie Smith at short.

We turned it around for a Priske - Thompson - Hernandez double play to get Brian Harper and Bream to end the top of the 4th.

In the 5th, Tim Naehring got our first hit of the game, and it was a big one! Home run!
I came up with two out and Bruce on 1st. I hit an RBI triple!
I scored on a Robby Thompson double!
Robby scored on a Rob Deer single.

We combined for a perfect reverse cycle that inning!

Giants lead 4-0

With one out and two on in the top of the 7th, Jim went to Jeff Robinson.
After Bob Brnely allowed pinch hitter Denny Gonzalez to reach on a dropped 3rd strike on what should have been the 3rd out, Roberts singled, scoring Lee Stevens and McCollom.
Then Gonzalez scored on a wild pitch.
Roberts and Smith scored on a Harper single.

Pirates lead 5-4

I led off in the 7th against James Moody. I worked a walk.
I moved to a 2nd on a sac bunt by Robby.
Ruben Sierra got us the lead back with a two run dinger!

Giants lead 6-5

Mark Davis came in to pitch the 8th for us. Mike Aldrete replaced Rob on a double switch.
I got the 3rd out for him off a Smith grounder.

In the bottom half, Tim scored on a single by Mike.
I came up with one out, Bob on 3rd and Mike on 1st. Bill Gullickson was on the mound. I flew out to Gibson in left, too shallow for Bob to score.
Both Bob and Mike ended up scoring on a single by Ruben.

Giants lead 9-5

Bobby Thigpen came in to wrap things up in the 9th.
Gibson walked but then Harper hit into a Thigpen - Priske - Hernandez double play.
One more out and we had the win.

I went 1 for 4 with a triple, two runs scored, an RBI, and a walk.

That was it for a mini-set with the Pirates. Tomorrow the Cardinals fly in.
