July 6th, 1990

The Cubs are here and we are trying to get Matt his first win.

Chicago is pitching Bill Krueger (4-8, 5.47).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (4-6, 4.02).

I have done very well against Krueger, going 4 for 5.

I got in on the action right away, handling a grounder by leadoff hitter Dave Martinez for the 1st out.

I led off for our side by grounding out to Jeff King at 3rd.

The Cubs were first on the board in the 3rd when Krueger scored on a Travis Freeman single.

Cubs lead 1-0

I came up in the 3rd with Bruce on 1st. I hit one into the left field corner for a double. Bruce held up at 3rd.
Robby Thompson walked, loading the bases with none out.
Bruce scored on a Ruben Sierra sac fly.
That's all we could get.

Game tied 1-1

I led off in the 5th, grounding out to Freeman at short.
A few batters later, Dale Murphy launched a three-run blast.

Giants lead 4-1

Rick Sutcliffe took over for us with one out in the 6th.
Ryan Klesko also took over for Alvin Davis in a double switch.

I led off in the 7th, with them brining in Chris Pollack to face me.
I grounded out to Bret Barberie at 2nd.

Bobby Thigpen came in for the 9th, trying to close things down.
He walked a man with two out, but that was all and we had the win!

A gatorade bath for Matt.

I went 1 for 4 with a double.
