May 15th, 1991
The second game of the double header saw the Phillies pitching Mike Moore (0-1, 2.35).
The Giants had Tom Kramer (3-0, 2.74).
I haven't seen much of Moore, but I have gone 4 for 8.
Hitting seventh again.
Robby Thompson led off the home side with a home run.
Giants lead 1-0
I came up in the 2nd with Ryan Klesko on 1st. I replaced him on a fielder's choice.
Stolen base #19.
I got no further.
In the 4th, Gilkey scored on a wild pitch by Tom, tying it up.
Game tied 1-1
I led off the bottom of the 5th by grounding out to Jose Vizcaino at 3rd.
The Phils took the lead in the 6th when Vizcaino scored on a Moore single.
Then John Flaherty crossed on a single by Ozzie Smith.
With the bases loaded and two out, Matt brought in Bret Lachemann.
He gave up an RBI single to Tino Martinez but Bryce Bernadin threw out Smith trying to score.
Phillies lead 4-1
I came up in the 7th with one out, Alvin Davis on 2nd, and Mark Lewis on 1st. I walked, loading them up.
Alvin scored on aMark went to 3rd on an Alan Cockrell sac fly.
That's all we could get.
Phillies lead 4-2
Heathcliff Slocumb came in for the 8th.
Thing turned around for us in the 8th when a Robby Thompson double, a walk by Bryce, and a single by Alvin set the stage for a Timothy McKercher pinch hit home grand slam.
I grounded out to end the inning but...
Giants lead 6-4
We swept the double header and the series.
I went 0 for 3 with a walk and a stolen base.
Tomorrow the Expos come to town which means the annual trip down from Victoria for my family!
