June 10th, 1990

We lost the first two games of a four game set in Atlanta.

Today the Braves are pitching Brian Holton (3-2, 3.92).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (3-5, 3.94).

I have very little exposure to Holton, going 0 for 2.

I kicked things off by fouling out to Tony Pena behind the plate.

I took are of a Gary Sheffield grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom half.

Things went better for us in the 2nd when Robby Thompson scored on a Ryan Klesko triple and then Ryan scored on a Tim Naehring single.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off the 3rd by striking out.

The Braves got on the board in the 4th when Sheffield scored on a Jeff Blauser double.
I took care of a Pena grounder to end it there.

Giants lead 2-1

I came up with two out in the 5th and grounded out to Blauser at 2nd.

I next came up with two out in the 7th, but now facing Mike Bormann.
I hit one to centre for a double.
I scored on an Alvin Davis single.

Giants lead 3-1

I took care of an Andres Galarraga grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 7th.

After Bruce gave up two hits to open the bottom of the 8th, Jim brought in Mark Davis.
He walked the first batter he faced, and he got the early hook.
Mark Williamson was next to the mound.
He got Sheffield out, but it was a sac fly that scored Gary Redus.
I caught a Ken Griffey Jr. pop for the 2nd out.
Pinch runner Steve Martin scored on a Galarraga single, tying the game.
I took care of a Blauser grounder to end the inning.

Game tied 3-3

I came up in the 9th with two out, Tim on 1st, and Duane Ward pitching.
I grounded out to Blauser.

Rick Sutcliffe took over for us in the 9th.
I took care of pinch hitter Johnny Ray's grounder for the 1st out.
I then handled Redus' fielder's choice ball for the 2nd out.

We went to extras again.

Blauser singled in the bottom of the 10th, scoring Sheffield, and we were walked off again.

I went 1 for 5 with a double and a run scored.
