August 9th, 1989
After being shut out yesterday we need to get back at the Reds today.
They are pitching Tom Browning (6-11, 2.57).
The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (6-8, 3.30).
I have done well against Browning, going 12 for 37, or .324.
I took care of a Kal Daniels grounder for the 3rd out in the 1st.
I then led off our side by lining out to Beau Allred in centre.
In the 2nd, Matt Nokes hit a solo jack.
Reds lead 1-0
I caught a Mike Greenwell pop for the 1st out in the 3rd.
I led off the bottom half by grounding out to Will Clark at 1st.
I got the 1st out in the 5th off a Kurt Stillwell grounder.
I came up with one out in the 5th and hit one to deep centre, but it was caught by Allred.
In the 6th, Clark scored on a Felix Fermin single.
Then Nokes scored on a Stillwell single.
Reds lead 3-0
In the 7th, Daniels homered.
Reds lead 4-0
I came up with two out in the 7th and flew out to Daniels.
Willie Fraser took over for us in the 8th.
I caught a Jim Paciorek pop for the 2nd out.
I took care of a Browning grounder for the 1st out in the 9th.
We finally got on the board in the 9th who Alan Cockrell hit a solo homer but that was it and we lost again.
I went 0 for 4.
The Dodgers won again.
