May 25th, 1989

I am feeling physically good. I am unhappy with my recent play.

Time to redouble my efforts.

We finish up with the Expos today and I want to put on a show for my family.

Montreal is pitching Shane Rawley (2-4, 2.50).

The Giants are going with Rick Sutcliffe (2-4, 3.84).

Rawley just came over from he AL this year so I have never faced him before.

Right away things go the other way. Jose Offerman reached on an error by Robby Thompson and then scored on a single by Pedro Guerrero on a play I think I should have made. Not an error, but my standards are somewhat higher than that.
We get Guerrero and Dave parker with a Sutcliffe - Priske - Hernandez double play.

Expos lead 1-0

I led off the home side by flying out to Shane Mack in right.

We evened things up in the 2nd when Rob Deer scored on an aAlan Cockrell single.

Game tied 1-1

I handled a Rawley grounder for the 1st out in the 3rd.

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by legging out an infield single. This confirms that the leg is feeling good and I am ready to run!
And run I did... right into a pitchout.

I took care of a Patrick Abbatiello grounder for the 3rd out in the 4th.

In the bottom half, Jim Presley knocked a two run blast to put us in the lead!

Giants lead 3-1

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

I came up with one out in the 5th and flew out to Parker in left.

I did the same to Guerrero for the 2nd out in the 6th.

Things went the other way int he 8th when Guerrero evened things back up with a two run homer.

With two out and a man on, Jim brought in Bobby Thigpen. He got out of it.

Game tied 3-3

I led off the bottom of the 8th against Juan Agosto. I lined out to Mack in right.

With one out in the 9th, Jim brought in Mark Davis.
I took care of a Mack grounder for the 3rd out.

I looks like my family is getting some bonus baseball today.

Ryan Klesko led off the bottom of the 10th with a pinch hit double and then I came up to face Jeff Russell. I got the intentional walk.
Keith Hernandez struck out. Robby flew out. We moved up on a wild pitch. Then Rob snuck one through the middle, letting Ryan score and we had the walk-off win!

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a walk, and a caught stealing.

We are back to .500

Next the Phillies come to town.
