April 11th, 1990

Another day in Atlanta - my least liked place to play in the league.

The Braves are pitching Scott Lewis (0-0, 3.86).

The Giants are going with John Burkett (0-1, 20.25).

Lewis only has 15 big league innings under his belt, and none were against us.

I kicked things off by scooting one through the right side for a single.
Stolen base #7.
I went to 3rd on a Ruben Sierra groundout and scored on an infield hit by Harold Baines.

Giants lead 1-0

Andres Galarraga got the run right back with a 1st inning home run.

Game tied 1-1

We got the lead right back in the 2nd when Dale Murphy hit a homer of his own!

Giants lead 2-1

Once again, the lead was short lived as Chris Jelic scored on the bottom of the 2nd, off a Steve Martin double.

Game tied 2-2

I led off the 3rd by taking a walk.
I was replaced with a fielder's choice by Alvin Davis.
Alvin and Harold ended up scoring on a double by Alan Cockrell.

Giants lead 4-2

I led off the 5th by grounding out to Jeff Blauser at 2nd.

I got the last out if the inning off a grounder by Ken Griffey Jr.

I did the same for the last out in the 6th - this time it was a Blauser grounder.

I came up in the 7th with two out and Dale Murphy on 2nd. Mike Bormann was pitching.
RBI single! I went to 2nd on the throw home.
I scored on a single by Alvin.

Giants lead 6-2

With a man on in the 8th, Jim went to Mark Williamson.
I took care of a Ron Gant grounder for the 3rd out.

In the 9th Rob Deer hit a pinch hit home run.
I came up with two out and Brian Holton pitching.
After Rob homered, the very next pitch hit me in the ribs! The hell with that!

I CHARGED THE MOUND!

BENCHES CLEARED!

After all settled out, both Holton and I were ejected.

We ended up winning 7-2.

I went 2 for 3 with a pair of singles, a walk, two runs scored, an RBI, a stolen base, and an ejection.

We both got suspended. For some reason, we got the same amount of time, even though he clearly was the instigator.

Five games.
