May 1st, 1990

The Cubs are in town and we are ready to start the new month off right.

Chicago is pitching Randy Johnson (2-3, 2.90).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (1-2, 4.78).

I have gone 2 for 7 against Johnson.

I led off the home half of the game by striking out.

In the 3rd I made an error on an Otis Nixon grounder. It was costly as Todd Logan scored on a the play.
Then Tim Barker scored on a Bret Barber fielder's choice.

Two unearned runs because of my error.

Cubs lead 2-0

I led off the bottom of the 3rd, hoping to make it up, and walked.
Stolen base #18.
I scored on a Robby Thompson single.
Robby ended up scoring a sac fly by Harold Baines. Then Ruben Sierra scored on an Alan Cockrell single.

Giants lead 3-2

I led off again in the 4th and grounded out back to Johnson.

I led off for the 4th time this game in the 6th. I reached on an error by Barker at short.
I moved to 2nd on a sac bunt by Robby.
Stolen base #19 got me to 3rd.
I scored on a Ruben sac fly.

After Bruce walked the first batter in the 7th, Jim went to Mark Davis.

In the bottom of the 7th Dale Murphy scored on a sac fly by pinch hitter Rob Deer.
I grounded out to end the inning.

Giants lead 5-2

Bobby Thigpen took the mound in the 8th.

In the 9th I made another error. Inexcusable.

Bobby bailed me out, but he shouldn't have needed to.

We got the win.
