Stolen base #45.
I moved to 3rd on a Keith Hernandez groundout and scored on a Robby Thompson groundout.

In the 2nd Jim Presley scored on a passed ball.

I got the 1st out in the bottom half off a Nick Esasky grounder.

I led off the 3rd by grounding out to Felix Fermin at short.

I came up in the 4th with two out, Jim on 3rd, and Frank on 1st.

With one out and one on in the bottom of the 9th, Jim lifted Frank - who was visibly flagging - for John Burkett.
I got the next guy - Fermin - with a groundout.
One more out and we had the win.
