April 14th, 1992

It is our home opener!

Unfortunately we have started out only 2-4.

Today the Padres are serving up David Nied (0-1, 3.38).

The Giants are going with Scott Service (0-0, 5.40).

I am hitting seventh.

I caught a David Segui pop for the 2nd out in the 2nd.

I then came up with two out in the bottom of the 2nd and popped out to Dickie Thon at short.

I got the 1st out in the 3rd off a great play on a grounder by Orlando Merced.

But then Nied and Chad Curtis scored on a Tony Gwynn double.

I got the 3rd out off a Kirt Manwaring grounder.

Padres lead 2-0

We got out first hit in the 5th when Jerry Browne singled with one out.
I came up next and struck out.

But then Jerry scored on an Alan Cockrell single and Alan scored on a pinch hit triple by Shawon Dunston!

Game tied 2-2

Bryan Hickerson took the ball for us in the 6th.

In the bottom of the 6th, Ryan Klesko scored on a Craig Grebeck
single.

Giants lead 3-2

I took care of a Nied grounder for the 2nd out in the 7th.
Then I did the same to Curtis for the 3rd.

After those two plays, I led off the bottom of the 7th by flying out to Merced in centre.

Mark Ross took the ball for us in the 8th.

I got the 2nd out behind him off a Gwynn grounder.

Robby Thompson led off the bottom of the 8th with a home run.

Giants lead 4-2

Jeff Russell came in for the save opportunity in the 9th.
I caught a sky high pinch hit pop by Dave Parker for the final out.

I was busy on defense but went 0 for 3.
