May 2nd, 1990

We have the Cubs again and they are pitching Dan Freed (1-2, 4.78).

The Giants have Frank Viola (1-4, 6.61).

I have gone 4 for 12 against Freed.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by grounding out to Tim Barker at short.
We scored in the 1st when Robby Thompson was pushed across when Dale Murphy was walked with the bases loaded.

Giants lead 1-0

I came up with two out in the 2nd and flew out to Paul O'Neill in right. He robbed me with a great catch.

I took care of a Todd Logan grounder for the 1st out in the 3rd.

The Cubs evened it up in the 4th when Brady Anderson scored on a wild pitch by Frank.

Game tied 1-1

We got it right back when we answered with Alvin Davis scoring on an error and then Dale scored on a wild pitch.

Sloppy game.

I grounded out to end the inning.

Giants lead 3-1

The Cubs got the first run actually scored on a hit ball when Anderson scored in the 6th off an O'Neill single.
Then O'Neill scored on a Jeff King double to tie it back up.

Frank tied the team record with 12 strikeouts in only six innings.

Game tied 3-3

I came up in the 7th with one out and Alan Cockrell on 2nd. I flew out to Anderson in centre.

After Frank gave up a leadoff single in the 9th, Jim went to Mark Williamson. Frank set a new team record with 13 strikeouts.

Unfortunately, Mark gave up a two run homer to Logan.

Cubs lead 5-3

We lost a winnable game.

I went 0 for 4.

Tomorrow is a travel day as we are heading up to Canada.
