June 21st, 1991

We have lost four in a row and we have yet to beat the Cubs this season. Time to change both.

Today the Cubs are pitching Randy Johnson (8-4, 3.58).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (3-5, 4.02).

I am back in the lineup and hitting seventh. I have gone 4 for 16 against Johnson.

On the downside, both Harold Baines and Robby Thomson are hurting. But they are in there. Let's go.

I caught a hot Bret Barberie liner for the 2nd out in the 2nd.
They got on the board that inning when Ivan Rodriguez scored on a Scott Fletcher single.

Cubs lead 1-0

I came up in the bottom of the inning with two out and Alvin Davis on 2nd. I flew out to Otis Nixon in centre.

They extended their lead in the 3rd when Paul O'Neill crossed on a Brady Anderson single.

Cubs lead 2-0

I led off in the 5th by popping out to Travis Fryman at 3rd.

Things got worse in the 6th when Anderson and Barberie scored on a Fletcher single.
Then Rodriguez scored on a Johnson single.

Still with none out and two men on, Matt brought in Scott Service.

With one out, Fletcher scored on a Fryman single.
We turned a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to end it, but...

Cubs lead 6-0

In the 7th we turned a Thompson - Priske - Davis double play to get Barberie and Rodriguez.

I came up in the 7th with one out and Mark Lewis on 2nd. I grounded out to Fletcher at short.

WIth one out and a man on in the 8th, Matt turned to Mike Scott.

We turned another Thompson - Priske - Davis double play to get him out of the inning.

Pat Combs took the 9th.

I came up in the 9th with two out and Alvin on 1st. John Powell was pitching.
During my appearance, Alvin went to 2nd on a wild pitch.
I walked.
Then Steve Stanicek walked, to load the bases.
Then pinch hitter Rance Mulliniks walked, scoring Alvin.
Then I scored on the other runners moved up on a passed ball.
Harold singled, scoring Steve.
Robby walked, re-loading the bags.
Ruben walked, scoring Rance.
Bryce Bernadin (who started this inning off as a pinch hitter) singled, scoring Rance and Harold! Tie game!
Alvin struck out to end it, but...

Game tied 6-6!

With new life in the game, Bobby Thigpen took the ball for us in the 10th.
Tim Criswell took over behind the plate.

I came up in the bottom of the 10th with one out and Roger McDowell on the mound.
I walked again.
Stolen base #35.
Steve singled and I scored!

Walk-off win!

I went 0 for 3 but with two walks, two runs scored, and a stolen base.
