Trying to avoid a sweep.

Today the Pirates are pitching Willie Banks (2-0, 2.10).

The Giants have John Burkett (2-6, 3.30).

I am hitting seventh.

The Pirates opened the scoring in the 2nd when John Valentin scored on a Banks single.

Pirates lead 1-0

I came up in the bottom of the inning with Craig Grebeck on 1st. I drove a slider up the middle for a single, sending Craig to 3rd.
Stolen base #23.
With two out we both scored on a Robby Thompson single.

Giants lead 2-1

I handled a Steve Aastrom grounder for the 1st out in the 4th.

I made a great play on a Dave Nilsson grounder for the 3rd out.

I then led off the bottom half by grounding out to Sid Bream at 1st.

I next came up with two out in the 6th and flew out to Lee Stevens in right.

We turned a Priske - Thompson - Klesko double play to end the top of the 7th.

WIth two out and one on in the 8th, Matt brought in Jeff Russell.

I got the 1st out in the 9th for him, off an Aastrom grounder.

Jeff got the four out save and we had the win.

I went 1 for 3 with a single and a stolen base.
