We are trying to sweep the mini-series.

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (8-4, 3,50).
I have gone 17 for 48, or .354, against Witt. I am hitting 7th.
Kent Hrbek led off the bottom of the 1st with a homerun.
I handled a Phil Plantier grounder for the 1st out.
Dodgers lead 1-0
I came up with two out in the 2nd and dumped one into right for a single.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.
I took care of a Bill Spiers grounder for the final out in the 2nd.
In the top of the 3rd, Alan Cockrell scored on a Robby Thompson double.
Game tied 1-1
Alvin Davis led off the 4th with a homer.
I came up with one out and Ryan Klesko on 1st. I drove one up the middle for a single, pushing Ryan to 3rd.
Stolen base #36.
They gave Alan the intentional walk, loading the bags.
Ryan scored on a sac fly by Bruce. I went to 3rd.
Alan and I were left on.
Giants lead 3-1
I led off the 6th by flying out to Phil Plantier in centre.
With one out and a man on 2nd in the bottom of the 7th, Matt brought in Scott Service.
Pinch hitter Dave Hollins ended up scoring on a single by Plantier, with a little help from an error by Ruben Sierra in right.

Bobby Thigpen took the hill for us in the 9th.
He gave up one hit but got the save.
I went 2 for 4 with a pair of single, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.
