July 14th, 1990

We are on a bit of a roll. Let's keep it going.

We are in St. Louis and the Cardinals are pitching Dave Fleming (5-9, 4.51).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (10-4, 4.19).

I haven't seen much if Fleming, but what I have has been good. I have gone 2 for 4.

I led off the game by flying out to Lance Johnson in centre.

The Cards struck early as their second batter of the game was Oddibe McDowell's double driving in Johnson.

Cardinals lead 1-0

We got it right back when Alan Cockrell led off the 2nd with a home run.

Game tied 1-1

I took care of a sac bunt by Fleming for the 2nd out in the bottom half.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and worked a walk.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.
Consecutive hits by Ruben Sierra, Robby Thompson, and Alan led to two more runs.

Giants lead 3-1

They got those back in the bottom half as Jeff Branson single scored Andy Van Slyke and Terry Pendleton.

Game tied 3-3

I led off the 5th by grounding out to Branson at 2nd.

John Burkett took over for us in the 6th.
Joel Chimelis also replaced Tim Naehring in a double switch.

I handled a Johnson grounder for the last out in the 7th.

I then led off the 8th. They brought Greg Harris in to face me.
I grounded out to Mike Sarbaugh at 2nd.

Mark Williamson came in to pitch for us in the 9th. Greg Myers also replaced Alan behind the dish.

We went to extras and Bobby Thigpen took the ball in the 10th.

I led off the 11th, facing Mark Cahill. I walked.
Caught stealing again.
Robby hit a two out solo homer to give us the lead.

Giants lead 4-3

With two out and a man on in the bottom of the 11th, Matt went to Mark Davis. He got his guy and we had our 5th win in a row.

I went 0 for 3 with two walks and, somewhat embarrassingly, two caught stealings.

We finish in St. Louis tomorrow.
