May 26th, 1991

Rubber match in Atlanta.

The Braves are pitching John DeSilva (4-1, 5.06).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (3-3, 4.56).

I haven't seen much of DeSilva, but I have gone 2 for 4.

I am hitting fifth.

I came up with one out in the 2nd and struck out.

The Braves got some power from an unlikely source as DeSilva hit a two run homer in the 3rd.

Braves lead 2-0

Robby Thompson led off the 4th with a home run - our first hit of the game.

I came up with one out, Ruben Sierra on 2nd, and Alvin Davis on 1st. I hit it off the centre field wall for a two run double!
With two out, Tim Naehring walked. Then I scored on an Alan Cockrell single.

Giants lead 4-2

In the bottom half I started a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to Jeff Blauser and Terry Kennedy to end the inning.

I led off the 6th by dumping one into right for a single.
I went to 2nd on a Ryan Klesko sac bunt.
With two out they gave Alan Cockrell the intentional pass. It worked and we were left on.

I took care of a Gary Sheffield grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 6th.

I came up in the 7th with two out, Robby on 2nd, and Bryce Bernadin on 1st. I flew out to Ron Gant in left.

I handled a Blauser grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 7th.

Ken Griffey Jr. led off the bottom of the 8th with a pinch hit home run.

With one out and one on, Matt brought in Joe Boever.
I took care of a ball from pinch hitter Spike Owen for a fielder's choice.

Joe got four more outs and we had the win.

My big double made the highlight reel!

I went 2 for 4 with a single, a double, two RBI, and a run scored.

We are heading back home now, to face the Reds.
