We finish in Pittsburgh today.

The Pirates are pitching Bob Walk (8-2, 2.28).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (3-7, 3.71).

I have done well against Walk, going 6 for 17, including a home run.

I led things off by hitting one into short right centre for a single.
Stolen base #64.
I went to 3rd on a dropped fly that allowed Keith Hernandez to reach.
I scored on a Rob Deer sac fly.

Giants lead 1-0

I made the 2nd out in the bottom half, off a Kirk Gibson grounder.

In the 2nd we turned a Priske - Thompson - Hernandez double play to get Ken Phelps and Brian Harper.

I led off the 3rd by reaching on a two base throwing error by Charlie Montoyo.
I went to 3rd on a fly-out by Keith but got no further.

The Pirates tied it up in the 4th when Ozzie Smith scored on a Dave Winfield single.
We ended the inning with a Thompson - Priske - Hernandez double play to get Phelps and Harper again.

I led off the 5th by popping put to Harper at the plate.

I ended the 6th, taking care of a Smith grounder.

I came up in the 7th with two out and Tim Naehring on 1st. I drew the walk. Keith then singled and I went to 3rd while Tim scored, putting us ahead.
