June 26th, 1992

Eight losses in a row.
Trying to end that in San Diego.

The Padres are pitching Butch Henry (6-0, 2.95).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (2-6, 4.88).

I am hitting seventh.

We are not going to roll over and die.

I took care of a Tony Gwynn fielder's choice ball for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 1st.

I then handled a Bill Pecota grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 2nd.

I led off the 3rd by lining one to the centre field wall for a double, our first hit of the game.
With one out, Stolen Base #41, taking 3rd.
I was left there.

In the bottom of the 3rd, Gwynn hit a two run homer.

Padres lead 2-0

I caught a Dickie Thon pop up for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 4th.
I then did the same to Eric Young for the 3rd out.

Right after that, I led off the 5th by lining out to Thon at short.

I next came up with two out in the 7th. I flew out to Chad Curtis in left.

Mark Ross took the ball for us in the 8th. Rick pitched very well, but our lack of offence has him in line for a loss.

I was standing on deck when we made our final out.

Shut out.

Nine losses in a row.

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


My Grandfather was happy today, as Alex Fernandez pitched a No Hitter for Montreal.
