June 9th, 1992

We have won three in a row and are feeling pretty good.

Today the Reds are pitching Frank Castillo (4-3, 2.95).

The Giants have Pat Combs (2-0, 3.97).

I am hitting seventh again.

I started a Priske - Thompson - Klesko double play in the 1st.

We were first on the board when Robby Thompson scored on a Ryan Klesko single in the bottom of the 1st.

Giants lead 1-0

The lead was short lived as Mark McGwire scored on a Shawn Twillie single in the top of the 2nd.

Game tied 1-1

I came up with one out in the bottom of the 2nd and flew out to Eric Davis in right.

We turned a Thompson - Priske - Klesko double play in the 3rd.
After that, though, Paul Molitor and McGwire scored on a Brian Harper single.

Reds lead 3-1

But we weren't going to take that lying down!

In the bottom of the 3rd, we tied it when Ruben Sierra and Bryce Bernadin scored on a double by Ryan, and then he scored on a single by Jerry Browne!

Giants lead 4-3

I took care of a Rafael Serra grounder for the 1st out in the 4th.

I then led off the bottom of the 4th by grounding out to Carlos Baerga at 2nd.

I made a great play on a Mariano Duncan grounder for the 1st out in the 5th.

We turned a Thompson - Priske - Klesko double play to round out the frame.

I came up in the 6th with one out and Craig Grebeck on 2nd. I was given an intentional walk.
I was erased when Greg Myers hit into a fielder's choice.
Craig scored on a pinch hit single by Mark Lewis.

Giants lead 5-3

Ted Power took the ball for us in the 7th.

With two out and a man on in the 8th, Matt brought in Jeff Russell.
A walk followed by two errors (by Jeff and Ryan), led to Harper scoring.
I dealt with a grounder by pinch hitter Glenn Braggs to leave the bags loaded.

Giants lead 5-4

I led off the bottom of the 8th, now facing Scott Terry. I struck out.
Greg Myers followed me with a home run.

Giants lead 6-4

Jeff got three outs in the 9th and we had our 4th straight victory!

I went 0 for 3 with a walk.

We are now tied with the Braves for 3rd in the West!
