May 6th, 1990

Third game of a four game set in Montreal.

Today the Expos are pitching Steve Avery (2-2, 5.45).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (2-2, 4.03).

I have done well against Very, going 5 for 12, or .417.

I kicked things off by striking out.

The Expos struck early as Thomas Howard scored on a Shane Mack double in the 1st.

Expos lead 1-0

The lead did not last long as Alvin Davis led off the 2nd with a home run.
I grounded out with two men on to end the inning.

Game tied 1-1

I took care of an Avery bunt for the 2nd out in the bottom half.

Both Alvin and Rob Deer scored on a Greg Myers single in the 4th.
Once again I came up with two men on. This time I flew out.

Giants lead 3-1

In the bottom half, Michael Urzendowski scored on an Avery single.

Giants lead 3-2

We got the run back in the 5th when Dale Murphy scored on an Alvin double.

Giants lead 4-2

In the bottom half, Chris Sabo homered.

Giants lead 4-3

I came up in the 6th with two out and Tim Naehring on 2nd. For the third straight time I made the 3rd out, this time on a grounder to Jose Oquendo at short.

I returned the favour, taking care of an Oquendo grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 6th.

Mark Davis took over on the mound for us in the 7th.
I got the 1st out for him off a Jose Offerman grounder.
Then the Expos tied it up when Howard crossed on a Mack triple.

Game tied 4-4

In the 8th I came up with two out for the fourth time in a row. This time Greg Myers was on 2nd and pinch hitter Harold Baines was on 1st. Mark Tindall was pitching. I grounded out to Sabo at 1st.

Willie Fraser took the ball for us in the 8th.
He got through it and then Bobby Thigpen took the 9th.
I got the 1st out for Bobby off a Mack grounder.

Bobby got through the 9th but in the 10th he gave up an RBI single to Offerman and the Expos walked us off, 5-4.

I went 0 for 5 and left seven men on base.

Terrible.
