April 28th, 1990

After a nice wain against the Cardinals yesterday, we are ready to go again. Let's start a streak!

Today the Cards are pitching Jose Melendez (0-1, 2.89).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (3-1, 6.99).

Melendez is a rookie andnone of us have faced him before.

I took care of a Lance Johnson grounder for the 2nd out of the game.

I led off for the home side by flying out to Johnson in centre. Seems fair.

We did score in the 1st when Robby Thompson crossed on a Rob Deer single.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off the bottom of the 3rd and grounded out back to Melendez.

We got a couple more in the 4th when Rob scored on a Tim Naehring sac fly and Ryan Klesko scored on a Greg Myers single.

Giants lead 3-0

The Cardinals got on the board in the 5th when Jose Uribe scored on a Terry Shumpert sac fly.

Giants lead 3-1

I came up in the 5th with Scott on 1st. I hit it to Uribe at short for a fielder's choice.
Stolen base #17.
I moved to 3rd on a single by Robby.
Robby was thrown out trying to steal and then I was left on base.

I came up with two out in the 7th, now facing their version of Jeff Robinson.
I grounded out to Uribe.

Bobby Thigpen came in to pitch the 9th.
He gave up one hit but that was all and we had the win.

I went 0 for 4 with a stolen base. But we won.
