June 22nd, 1990

We are in Houston under the Dome.

The Astros are pitching Chris Hammond (5-7, 3.83).

The Giants are going with Scott Garrelts (9-4, 4.31).

I have gone 6 for 19, or .316, against Hammond.

I kicked things off by taking a four pitch walk.
Stolen base #60.
I scored on an Alvin Davis single.

Giants lead 1-0

I took care of a Felix Jose grounder for the 1st out in the bottom half.

I came up in the 2nd with two out and Scott on 1st. I drove one up the middle for a single, sending Scott to 3rd.
Alvin walked, to load the bases.
We were left that way.

The Astros also loaded the bases in the 2nd but then Scott walked Hammond, forcing Craig Biggio across.

Game tied 1-1

I led off the 5th but struck out.

I came up next in the 7th with one out, Robby Thompson on 3rd, and Tim Naehring on 2nd. I flew out to right but got the sac fly!

Giants lead 2-1

I handled a Craig Worthington grounder for the final out in the 7th, behind Mark Davis who came in to finish the inning.

I caught a Glenn Davis pop for the 1st out in the bottom of the 8th.

Bobby Thigpen got the 9th. He gave up a leadoff single to pinch hitter John Olerud, who ended ups coring on a two out single by Jose.

Going to extras tied 1-1.

I came up with one out in the 10th, facing Lee Guetterman. I grounded out to Clay Bellinger at short.

I took care of a Guetterman grounder for the final out in the 10th.

With two out in the 11th, Jim went to Mark Williamson.
He walked Rusty Greer but then got his out.

Gene Nelson came in to pitch the 12th.

I came up in the 13th with Rya Klesko on 1st and Mark Knudson pitching. I lined out to Davis at 1st.

Things turned out way in the 14th when Alan Cockrell scored on a pinch hit double by Tom O'Malley.

Giants lead 2-1

Rick Sutcliffe came in to close things out.
He couldn't. With one out he gave up a gopher ball to Davis to tie the game back up.
I took care of a sac bunt by Knudson for the 2nd out.
Then Craig Biggio came home on a Bellinger single to give the Astros the walk off, 3-2 win.

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a walk, a sac fly, a run scored, an RBI, and a stolen base.
