Good win yesterday. We need to keep it going.

The Pirates are pitching Rick Reed (9-4, 2.23).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (4-7, 3.51).

I have very little experience with Reed, going 0 for 2.

The Bucs struck first as Kirk Gibson hit a solo shot in the top of the 1st.
I took care of a Brian Harper grounder for the 3rd out.

Pirates lead 1-0

I led off the home half by hitting one up the middle for a single.
Stolen base #70.
I went to 3rd on a Keith Hernandez groundout and scored on a Robby Thompson groundout.

Game tied 1-1

I got the 2nd out in the 3rd off a Reed grounder.

I came up with one out int he bottom of the 3rd and took a four pitch walk.
Stolen base #71.
I advanced to 3rd on a fly out by Keith and scored on a single by Robby.

Giants lead 2-1

I got the 3rd out in the 4th off another Harper grounder.

I then got the 3rd out int he 5th off a Charlie Montoyo grounder.

I came up in the 5th wth two out out and Alan Cockrell on 2nd. I grounded out to Ozzie Smith at short.

I got the 3rd out in the 7th off a Ken Phelps grounder, saving a run.

I led off the bottom of the 8th, now facing James Moody. I lined out to Lee Stevens in centre.

Mark Davis came in to pitch the 9th for us. I caught a pop from pinch hitter Steve Bryant for the final out of the game.

Another win!

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, two runs scored, and two stolen bases.

We trail the Dodgers by four games.
