April 29th, 1990

We are going for the sweep against St. Louis today.

The Cardinals are pitching Terry Clark (1-3, 5.34).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (1-1, 2,70).

I have gone 3 for 10 against Clark.

I got in the action right away, handling a ground ball from the leadoff hitter, Vince Coleman.
And then caught an Andy Van Slyke foul ball for the 2nd out.

It didn't go all great though as Lance Johnson scored on an Oddibe McDowell single.
Then, ugly, Terry Pendelton, McDowell, and Jose Uribe (who reached an an error by Robby Thompson that should have been the 3rd out), all scored on a Ruben Amaro triple.

Cardinals lead 4-0

I led off for our side and managed a walk.
I went to 3rd on a single by Robby. He took 2nd when they tried to catch me.
I scored on a Ruben Sierra groundout.
Robby scored on a Harold Baines sac fly.

Cardinals lead 4-2

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by grounding out to Jeff Branson at 2nd.

I caught an Amaro pop for the 1st out in the 4th.

I led off the bottom of the 6th with another groundout to Branson.

We did score that inning when Robby crossed on a Ruben single.

Cardinals lead 4-3

That was short-lived at the Cards struck in the 7th, with Coleman scoring on a Van Slyke sac fly.

Willie Fraser took over for us with one out and a man on 3rd.
He got out of it.

Cardinals lead 5-3

I caught an Amaro foul for the 2nd out in the 8th.

I came up with one out in the bottom of the 8th and reached on an infield single.
I took 2nd out a two out single by Ruben.
We were left on.

Mark Williamson took the mound for us in the 9th.
I handled a Lance Johnson grounder for the 3rd out.

We were unable to score in the 9th and took the loss.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, and a run scored.

We get a day off tomorrow and then the Cubs come to town.
