(I had my first crash with OOTP24. Hopefully this time it works.)


May 18th, 1991

Still with the Expos.

Montreal is pitching Steve Avery (4-2, 3.16).

The Giants have John Burkett (3-3, 6.19).

I have gone only 5 for 22, or .227, against Avery.

I am hitting sixth.

I came up with one out in the 2nd and grounded out to Alvaro Espinoza at short.

We were first on the board when Timothy McKercher scored on the 3rd on an Alvin Davis single.

Giants lead 1-0

I came up in the 4th with one out and Mark Lewis on 3rd. I popped out to Chris Donnels at 3rd.

The Expos got the run back in the 5th when Sammy Sosa crossed on an Espinoza single.

Game tied 1-1

I came up next with one out in the 7th. I grounded out to Jose Oquendo at 2nd.
Things went well for us after that, though. Steve Stanicek got a pinch hit single. Timothy singled. Craig Grebeck got a pick hit double, scoring both guys. Craig scored on a double by Ruben Sierra who scored on a single by Alvin.

Giants lead 5-1

After that Luis Medina and Alan Cockrell took over in the OF and Heathcliff Slocumb took the mound.

The Expos weren't going down easy as Billy Hatcher hit a pinch hit three-run homer in the top of the 8th.

Matt gave the ball to Al Leiter after that.
I handled a Sosa grounder for the 3rd out.

Giants lead 5-4

I came up with two out in the bottom of the 8th, now facing Mike Henneman. I flew out to Shane Mack in left.

Joe Boever came in to close things out for us.
He gave up a one out double to Chris Sabo but Ruben threw him out trying to stretch it to a triple.
I took care of a Michael Urzendowski grounder to end the game.

Nice win but I went 0 for 4.

After the game we found out that the team signed vet Rance Mulliniks. We haven't heard if he will be joining us are going in the system.
