August 27th, 1989

My leg is still hurting but I am in the lineup for the final game against the Expos. That's good. I don't want to sit out any games during my family's trip.

The Expos are pitching Chuck Finley (15-8, 2.14).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (12-11, 2.89).

I have only gone 3 for 22 against Finley.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by flying out to Reggie Sanders in centre.

I made the 1st out in the 3rd off a Michael Urzendowski grounder.

I came up in the 3rd with one out, Alan Cockrell on 3rd, and Tim Naehring on 2nd. I hit it to centre again, but this time it was a sac fly!

Giants lead 1-0

In the 4th we turned a Thompson - Priske - Hernandez double play to get Pedro Guerrero and Dave Parker.

I led off in the 6th by lining out to Jose Oquendo at 2nd.

I took care of a Sanders grounder for the 3rd out in the 7th.

The Expos tied it up in the 8th when Urzendowski scored on a single by Jose Offerman.
We got him and Chris Sabo with a Thompson - Priske - Hernandez double play to end the inning.

Game tied 1-1

I came up in the bottom of the 8th with one out, Tim on 2nd, and Mike Henneman pitching. They gave me the intentional walk.
Lonnie Smith made them right by hitting into a double play.

I snagged a Parker liner for the 1st out in the 9th.
Then Guerrero scored on a Doug Snyder triple.
With two out, Jim went to Bobby Thigpen.
He got his out, but...

Expos lead 2-1

We couldn't get it back. No sweep for us.

My family is heading back to Victoria and we are waiting for the Phillies.
