July 12th, 1991

Today the Phillies are pitching Erik Hanson (8-7, 3.04).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (10-4, 3,49).

I have done well against Hanson, going 9 for 29, or .310, including a home run.

I am hitting seventh.

We struck right away as Robby Thompson scored on a passed ball in the top of the 1st.

Giants lead 1-0

The lead was very short lived as Randy Milligan led off the bottom of the 1st with a home run.

Game tied 1-1

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Mark Lewis on 1st. I hit into a fielder's choice.
Stolen base #43.
Timothy McKercher was walked, but we were both left on.

I came up in the 4th in the exact situation as the 2nd - one out and Mark on 1st. This time I struck out.

In the bottom of the 4th Darrin Fletcher gave them the lead with a solo homer.

Phillies lead 2-1

I came up with two out in the 6th and grounded out to Craig Paquette at short.

Mark Ross took the mound for us in the 7th.

I handled a Tommy Herr pinch hit grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the inning.

I led off the 9th against their closer, Michael Jackson. I flew out to Scott Pose in centre.

We were unable to score and took the one run loss.

I went 0 for 4 with a stolen base.
