June 7th, 1992

Trying to earn an even split in the home series against Houston.

Today the Astros are pitching Chris Hammond (5-4, 4.76).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (2-4, 4.72).

I am hitting seventh, as usual.

The Astros opened the scoring int he 2nd when Daniel Williams crossed on a Derek Bell single.

Astros lead 1-0

I came up in the bottom of the 2nd with Craig Grebeck on 2nd and Jerry Browne on 1st. I walked, loading the bases.
I was erased and Craig scored as Alan Cockrell hit into a double play.

Game tied 1-1

In the 3rd Ruben Sierra scored on a wild pitch, giving us the lead.

Giants lead 2-1

I came up with one out in the bottom of the 4th and lined a fastball into centre for a single.
Stolen base #31
I was left at 2nd.

I next came up with one out in the 6th and grounded out to Jay Bell at short.

The Astros evened it up in the 7th when pinch hitter Vince Coleman scored on a Bell single.

WIth one out and two on, Matt brought in Bryan Hickerson.
I caught a Tony Phillips grounder for the 2nd out.

Game tied 2-2

Mark Ross got the nod in the 8th.

I handled a John Olerud grounder for the 1st out.

Then it was Jeff Russell for the 9th.

I led off the bottom of the 9th, now facing Richard Dotson. I hit a hard grounder through the box and into centre for a single.

I went to 2nd on a pinch hit sac bunt by Tim Naehring.

Stolen base #32.

I scored on a pinch hit single by Shawon Dunston! Walk off!

I went 2 for 3 with a pair of single, a walk, two stolen bases, and a run scored!

So after going 2 and 2 with Houston, we have the Reds coming to town for three, before we head to Houston!
