September 1st, 1990

Game four of a five game set in New York. So far we are 3-0.

The Mets are pitching Andy Benes (12-8, 3.04).

The Giants have Fran Viola (13-8, 3.16). Frank is going on short rest.

I have one 3 for 8 against Benes, and I am back where I belong... hitting leadoff!

I led off the game by grounding out to Kevin Mitchell at 3rd.

We did score that frame as Ryan Klesko crossed on a Harold Baines double.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off again in the 3rd. I grounded out again, this time to Scott Fletcher at 2nd.

In the 5th, Kevin Mitchell knotted it back up with a lead off home run.

Game tied 1-1

I led of yet again in the 6th. I flew out to Lenny Dykstra in centre.

You know, I want to lead off, but if I don't do anything with it...

John Burkett took over for us in the 6th.

I took care of a fielder's choice ball by Dykstra to get the 2nd out.
I then took care of a Greg Vaughn grounder for the 3rd out.

I came up with two out in the 8th, now facing Scott Scudder. I grounded out to Mitchell again.

Mark Williamson got the nod for us in the bottom of the 8th.

I took care of a grounder by pinch hitter Joe Redfield for the 2nd out.
The Mets took the lead when a Vaughn single scored Tom Brunansky.

Mets lead 2-1

We couldn't score in the 9th and took the loss.
