I am feeling refreshed and ready to take on the Braves!

Atlanta is pitching John DeSilva (1-0, 0.77).

The Giants have Frank Viola (14-8, 3.05).

None of us have seen DeSilva before.

I am hitting third.

I came up with two out in the 1st and drove one into left for a single.
I was left on.

I came up next with one out in the 3rd and grounded out to Jeff Blauser at 2nd.

I led off in the 6th. I grounded out to Blauser again.

I then came up with two out in the 8th and lined one into centre for my second single of the game.
I was left there.

After all that Jerome Walton led off the 9th with a home run.

I handled an Andres Galarraga grounder for the 2nd out.

In the bottom of the 9th Alan Cockrell doubled home Harold Baines and we were going to extras.

Frank went all nine, but Bobby Thigpen came in for the 10th.
Tom O'Malley replaced Joel Chimelis and played 3rd while I shifted over to short.

I came up in the bottom of the 10th with one out, Alvin Davis on 1st, and Duane Ward pitching. I lined one into centre for my third single of the game. Alvin went to 2nd.
With two out, Harold Baines singled and Alvin scored, giving us the walk-off, 2-1 win!

I went 3 for 5, all singles.
