June 4th, 1991

We are sitting at .500 and really need to make a move.

We are in Pittsburgh and ready to go.

The Pirates are pitching Mark Gubicza (2-7, 7.06).

The Giants have Frank Viola (5-4, 3.39).

I have gone 3 for 11, or .273, against Gubicza.

I am hitting fifth.

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

I caught a Charlie Montoyo pop for the 1st out in the bottom of the 3rd.

I came up in the 4th with one out and Harold Baines and Alvin Davis on the corners. I hit a sac fly to right, scoring Harold.

Giants lead 1-0

They got the run back in the bottom half when Candy Maldonado hit a solo home run.
We ended the inning with a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to get Dean Palmer and Dave Nillson.

Game tied 1-1

We took the lead back in the top of the 5th when Alan Cockrell scored on an error.

Giants lead 2-1

I came up with two out in the 6th and struck out.

Our lead was erased in the 7th when Valentin scored on a sac fly by Bip Roberts.

Game tied 2-2

Tom Kramer came in to pitch the 8th.

Ruben Sierra led off the 9th with a home run.

I came up with Alvin on 1st, facing Doug Jones. I reached on an infield single, moving Alvin to 2nd.
Ryan Klesko tried a sac bunt but they got Alvin at 3rd.
Ryan and I were left on.

Giants lead 3-2

Joe Boever came it to shut it down.
He allowed two baserunners but no runs and we had the nod.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a sac fly, and an RBI.
