May 16th, 1989

We are still in Philadelphia and the Phillies are pitching Mike Morgan (2-2, 1.35).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (1-2, 4.19).

I have gone 3 for 9 against Morgan.

I led off the game by flying out to Von Hayes in right.

I got the 2nd out in the bottom half off a Walt Weiss grounder.

I then got the1st out in the bottom of the 2nd off a Ricky Jordan grounder.
I did the same to Mike LaValliere for the 3rd.

The Phillies opened the scoring int he 3rd when Ty Gainey crossed on a single by Morgan.

Phillies lead 1-0

I led off the 3rd and was the first Giants to reach base - in this case, with an infield single.
Stolen base #27.
I advanced to 3rd on a fly ball by Robby Thompson. That was as far as I got.

I made a great play on a Gainey grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 5th.

I came up with one out in the 6th and flew out to Gainey in centre.

I then came up with one out in the 8th, now facing Ed Nunez. I grounded out to Tom Herr at 2nd.

I took care of a Gainey grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 8th.
With a man on and two out in the 8th, Jim went to Bobby Thigpen.
He got his out and then in the 9th... a whole lot happened.

Robby singled.
Rob Deer singled.
Ruben Sierra was safe on a fielder's choice. Robby went to 3rd.
Alan Cockrell was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Luis Medina hit a Grand Slam Home Run!

Giants lead 4-1!

Mark Davis came in to try and close things out. He gave up a single but that was all and we had the win!

I went 1 for 4 with a single and a stolen base.

We wrap up in Philly tomorrow.
