July 14th, 1989

Time to bounce back from that loss yesterday.

Today the Pirates are pitching Mike Bielecki (5-9, 3.83).

The Giants have Frank Viola (15-3, 1.45).

I have gone only 4 for 19 against Bielecki. I need to do better.

I got the 2nd out of the game off an Ozzie Smith grounder.

I led off the home side by hitting one up the middle for an infield single.
Stolen base #68.
With one out, stolen base #69, dude.
I scored on a Robby Thompson groundout.

Giants lead 1-0

In the 2nd, Sid Bream scored on a Charlie Montoyo grounder.

Game tied 1-1

I came up in the 2nd with two out and Alan Cockrell, Brian Giles, and Frank filling the bases. I managed an RBI walk. Then Keith Hernandez did the same.
We left them full.

Giants lead 3-1

In the 3rd we got a Thompson - Priske - Hernandez double play to get Bip Roberts and Kirk Gibson to end the frame.

I handled a Pete Rice grounder for the 3rd out in the 4th.

I came up in the 4th with one out and Brian on 2nd. While I was at the plate, Brian stole 3rd. I grounded out to Bream at 1st, but Brian scored on the play.

Giants lead 4-1

I led off the bottom of the 7th, now facing Clay Parker. I grounded out to Montoyo at 3rd.

In the 8th Ruben Sierra hit a solo homer!

Giants lead 5-1

With one out and a man on in the 9th, Jim went to Bobby Thigpen.
I took care of a grounder from pinch hitter Dave Winfield for the final out and we had the win!

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, two RBI, a run scored, and two stolen bases!
