We are on a four game losing streak and are the worst team in the HL.

That just isn't okay.

We finished at Wrigley today, with the Cubs pitching Randy Johnson (4-3, 3.03).

The Giants are going with Rod Nichols (0-5, 6.03).

I am hitting seventh.

I made a sharp play for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 2nd, leaping to snag a Brian Jordan liner.

I led off the 3rd by grounding out to Mark Grace at 1st.

I next came up with two out in the 5th. I flew out to Willie Murray in centre.

I dealt with a Jordan grounder for the final out in the 6th.

WIth a man on and two out in the 7th, Rod hit his limit. He pitched great but Matt went to Bryan HIckerson.

I came up in the 8th with Jerry Browne on 1st. I hit into a double play.

Alan Cockrell followed me with a home run.

Giants lead 1-0

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

We turned a Lewis - Priske - Lewis double play to get the first outs for him.

I took care of a Paul O'Neill grounder for the 3rd out.

Jeff Russell came into the 9th with the slimmest of margins.

With a man on 1st, I took care of a grounder from pinch hitter Ivan Rodriguez for the 2nd out.
Jeff got the last out and we had the 1-0 win!

I went 0 for 3.

Now we head to Pittsburgh.
