September 11th, 1989
The Braves are in town but I am getting the day off. Jim has been happy with my play but I have been going really hard and wants me refreshed.
I pinch hit in the 8th. The game was still scoreless and Lonnie Smith had reached on an error to lead off. I came in for Brian Giles to face Steve Farr.
I singled and Lonnie went to 2nd.
Then Robby Thompson moved us both uo with a sac bunt.
Ryan Klesko cashed in Lonnie with a sac fly. I was left on, but we had the lead.
Giants lead 1-0
I stayed in to play short and Tim Naehring shifted to 3rd.
John Burkett was pitching for us.
Three outs later, we had the win.
1 for 1 with a single. Not bad in a game I wasn't playing.
