May 21st, 1991

I have Neil Young on the Discman as we roll into Ohio.

The Reds are pitching Frank Castillo (3-3, 2.57).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (2-3, 4.96).

I have one only 6 for 30 against Castillo, but one of those was a home run.

I am hitting fifth.

The Reds scored on the 1st when Carlos Baerga crossed on a Mark McGwire single.
I took care of a Matt Nokes grounder for the 3rd out.

Reds lead 1-0

I led off the 2nd by grounding out to Mike Mordecai at short.

Things went well for us in the 3rd.
With one out, Robby Thompson singled and was tripled home by Bryce Bernadin.
Bryce scored on a Ruben Sierra double.
I came up with two out and tripled home Bryce but was then left at 3rd.

Giants lead 3-1

In the bottom of the inning, Baerga scored on a wild pitch.

Giants lead 3-2

I led off the 6th by grounding gout to McGwire at 1st.

I handled a Castillo grounder for the final out in the inning.

Scott Service took over for us in the 7th.

I took care of a Baerga grounder for the 1st out behind him.

I came up in the 8th with one out, Ruben on 2nd, and Alvin Davis on 1st.
While I was at the plate, Ruben stole 3rd. Then he scored and Alvin went to 2nd on a wild pitch.
I singled into left, moving Alvin to 3rd.
Stolen base #21.
We both scored on a single by Ryan Klesko.

Giants lead 6-2

With one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 8th, Matt brought in Joe Boever.
He pitched out of it.

With one out in the 9th, McGwire belted a two run homer.

We still got the win, 6-4.

I went 2 for 4 with a triple, a single, a run scored, an RBI, and a stolen base.
