June 1st, 1992

We are in New York for a two gamer.

Today the Mets are pitching Sid Fernandez (4-5, 3.88).

The Giants are going with Charlie Vinson Jr. (3-6, 3.48).

I am hitting seventh, as per usual.

I came up with one out in the 2nd and took a walk.
I was left on.

I took care of an Armando Zambrano grounder for the 1st out in the bottom half.

We opened the scoring in the 3rd when Ruben Sierra smacked a two run homer.

Giants lead 2-0

It started raining in there.

I caught an Ozzie Guillen pop for the 1st out in the bottom of the 3rd.

The Mets got on the board that inning when Charlie walked Lenny Dykstra with the bases loaded.

Giants lead 2-1

I led off the 4th by striking out.

I handled a Joe Oliver grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the inning.
I then did the same to Chris Sabo for the 2nd out.
After that the bases loaded up before I caught a Greg Vaughn pop for the 3rd out.

In the 5th we turned a Thompson - Priske - Lewis double play.
I then took care of a Zambrano grounder for the 3rd out.

I came up with two out in the 6th and flew out to Dykstra in centre.

Bryan Hickerson took over for us in the 7th.

We had a half hour rain delay in the inning.

We had a big 8th.

Ruben singled.
Robby Thompson hit a two run homer.
With one out, Craig Grebeck tripled.
Jerry Brownes singled, scoring Craig.
I came up, facing Greg Harris, and hit into a fielder's choice, replacing Jerry.
I stole 2nd.
I scored from 2nd on an Alan Cockrell single.

Giants lead 6-1

Pat Combs took the ball for us in the bottom of the 8th.

He gave up a leadoff home run to Mike Gallego in the 9th.
He gave up another single after that, but nothing more, and we had the 6-2 win.

I went 0 for 3 with a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base.

We have won five in a row! And we are out of last place, passing the Dodgers!
