April 10th, 1992

We got our first win. Let's make it a streak.

Today the Braves are pitching Ben McDonald.

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe.

I am hitting sixth.

We got on the board right away as Ruben Sierra scored on a Ryan Klesko groundout to put us up int he top of the 1st.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off the 2nd by scooting one through the right side for a single.
Stolen base #2.
With one out I went to 3rd on an Alan Cockrell groundout.
I scored on a single by Rick.

Giants lead 2-0

I made a great play on a Jeff Blauser roundball for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 3rd.

But then Randy Ready scored on a Ken Griffey Jr. single.

Giants lead 2-1

I led off the 4th by blooping one into right for another single.
I went to 2nd on a Jesse Barfield single.
I went to 3rd on a double play ball by Alan.
This time I was left there.

In the bottom of the 4th, the very unexpected happened. Following an error by Ryan, which should have ended the inning, Braves pitcher Ben McDonald hit a Grand Slam.

Matt brought in Charles Hudson after that.

Braves lead 5-2

I took care of a Jeff Bagwell grounder for the 2nd out int he bottom of the 5th.
I then did the same to Gene Larkin for the 3rd out.

I came up with one out in the 6th and grounded out to Andujar Cedeno at short.

I caught a Mike Scioscia pop for the 1st out in the bottom of the 6th.

With one out and one on, Matt brought in Heathcliff Slocumb.

In the 7th he went to Bryan Hickerson.

I came up next with two out in the 8th, now facing Kelly Downs.
I flew out to Larkin in right.

In the bottom of the 8th, Scioscia scored on a Ready sac fly.

Braves lead 6-2

And that is how it ended.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles, a run scored, and a stolen base.
