June 25th, 1991

We are in L.A. for a quick, two game set.

Today the Dodgers are pitching Jose Guzman (8-2, 243).

The Giants have Frank Viola (5-5, 3.58).

I have never faced Guzman and am hitting 7th.

We got on the board in the top of the 1st when Ruben Sierra scored on a Mark Lewis single.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off the 2nd by striking out.

In the 3rd Harold Baines hit a solo homer.

Giants lead 2-0

I caught a Guzman pop for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 3rd.

I came up next with two out in the 4th and grounded out to Bill Spiers at short.

We turned a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to end the 4th.

I caught a Monty Fariss liner to end the 5th.

I came up with two out in the 7th and struck out again.

Our lead vanished in the bottom of the 8th when Dave Hollins hit a two run homer.

Game tied 2-2

We got our lead right back in the 9th. First Alvin Davis scored on a Bryce Bernadin double and then Bryce scored on a Ryan Klesko single.

I struck out against Lee Smith to end the inning.

Giants lead 4-2

Bobby Thigpen came in for the 9th.

I caught a liner by pinch hitter Gene Larkin for the 1st out.

Two more outs and we had the win.

I went 0 for 4 with the hat trick.
