June 15th, 1990

Okay, it seems that Tim Naehring injury is more of the nagging variety than the DL kind.

The Braves are in town but I am back to getting that day off I was promised.

We were trailing 3-2 and Jim brought me in as a pinch hitter (for Tim) to lead off the 7th. Barry Jones was pitching.
I lined one into centre for a single.
Stolen base #50. Finally.
Felling good, with one out I grabbed stolen base #51!
I scored on a Rob Deer sac fly to tie the game!

Game tied 3-3

Mark Williamson took the mound for us, trying to hold that tie in the 8th.

I took care of an Andres Gallarraga grounder for the 3rd out behind him.

In the 9th Jim went to Bobby Thigpen.

I led off the bottom of the 9th against John Dodd.
I managed a walk.
Stolen base #52.
STOLEN BASE #53!
Craig Grebeck hit one out to Ken Griffey Jr. in centre... I took off for home... the throw reached Ed Sprague but I crashed into him.. the ball was looses! SAFE!

WE WIN!

I wnet 1 for 1 with a single, a walk, two runs scored, and FOUR stolen bases!
