Back in San Fran to face the Mets.

New York is pitching Kevin Appier (5-1, 1.09).

The Giants have Frank Viola (3-3, 3.61).

I have gone only 1 for 7 against Appier.

I am hitting seventh.

I got in on the action right away as I took care of a Lenny Dykstra grounder for the 1st out.
I then did the same to Wally Joyner for out #3.

I kept at it in the 2nd inning, handling a Greg Vaughn grounder for the 1st out.

I came up in the bottom of the 2nd with two out and Mark Lewis on 2nd. I walked, but we were both left on.

I got Greg Olson for the 1st out and Tito Navarro for the 2nd out in the 3rd.

I grabbed a Joyner pop for the 1st out in the 4th, continuing the steak.
I then started a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to get Cal Ripken and Vaughn.

I came up in the 4th with two out, Mark on 2nd, and Ryan Klesko on 1st. I grounded out to Navarro at short.

I led off the bottom of the 7th by flying out to Vaughn in left.

I took care of an Appier grounder for the 1st out in the 9th.

I came up with two out in the bottom of the 9th. I flew out to Kevin Mitchell in right, sending us to extras, still deadlocked at zero - zero.

10 innings was all that Frank could do (piker!), so Matt brought in Joe Boever for the 11th.

I came up with one out int he bottom of the 12th. Steve Crawford was pitching. I grounded out to Navarro.

Mark Ross took over in the 13th, with Timothy McKercher taking over behind the plate in a double switch. (Rob Deer had also replaced Luis Medina in left earlier in the game).
I caught a pop by pinch hitter Shawn Abner for the 1st out behind Mark.

It finally came to an end in the 13th when Timothy walked and the moved to 2nd on a sac bunt by Robby Thompson. Rob then singled, scoring Tim.

Giants win 1-0.

I went 0 for 4 with a walk.
