May 29th, 1989

Pitching fans have been looking forward to this one as the Mets are in town and we are seeing a clash of two of the best pitchers in the league.

The Mets have Dwight Gooden (7-1, 1.98).

The Giants have Frank Viola (6-3, 2.21).

I have gone 12 for 45, or .267, against Gooden.

We ended the top of the 1st with a sweet Hernandez - Priske - Hernandez double play to get Lenny Dykstra and Wally Joyner.

I then led off for our side and walked on four straight pitches.
Stolen base #32.
With two out, Rob Deer smacked a two run homer!

Giants lead 2-0

I came up in the 2nd with one out, Alan Cockrell on 2nd, and Frank on 1st. I hit one down the line into the right field corner for a triple! Two RBI!
I scored on an infield hit by Keith Hernandez.

Giants lead 5-0

The Mets got on the board in the 3rd when Gerald Young scored on a Dykstra single.

Giants lead 5-1

I took care of a Darryl Strawberry grounder for the 1st out in the 4th.

I came up with one out in the bottom of the 4th and reached on an infield single!
Stolen base #33.
I reached 3rd on an infield single by Keith.
Kevin Brown relieved for Gooden.
Robby Thompson walked to load the bases.
Rob walked to score me.
Keith and Robby scored on a single by Ruben Sierra.

Giants lead 8-1

I caught a Mike Fitzgerald pop for the 1st out in the 5th.

I faced Brown with one out in the bottom of the 5th. I grounded out to Hubie Brooks at short.

With one out in the 7th, Jim replaced Frank with John Burkett.
Our side of the pitching match-up lived up to the hype.

With our commanding lead, I left the game in the 7th.

We ended up winning, 9-1.

Player of the game... me! I went 2 for 3 with a triple, a single, a walk, two RBI, three runs scored, and two stolen bases!
