July 3rd, 1992

It is the 2nd game of a four hame set at home against the Cardinals. We won the first game.

Today the Cards are pitching Danny Darwin (10-7, 3.23).

The Giants are going with Charlie Vinson Jr. (6-7, 3.04).

I am hitting fifth. That is different.

I took care of a Joe Orsulak grounder for the 2nd out of the game.

In the 2nd I started a Priske - Thompson - Klesko double play.

I then came up with one out in the bottom of the 2nd. I singled up the middle for our first hit of the game.
Stolen base #45.
I went to 3rd on a Tim Naehring groundout but was left there when Jesse Barfield was robbed of a hit to deep centre.
That is Jesse's season in a nutshell. He is now hitting .096.

I handled a Ray Martinez grounder for the 1st out in the 3rd.
We then turned a Thompson - Priske - Klesko double play for the other two outs.

I took care of a Luis Gonzalez grounder for the final out in the top of the 5th.

I then led off the bottom of the 5th by blasting a double to left centre! (Our second hit of the game...)
Stolen base #46.
I scored on a sac fly by Jesse.

Giants lead 1-0

In the 6th, Orsulak scored on a Wade Boggs single.

Game tied 1-1

In the 7th, John Valentin scored on a Gonzalez sac fly.

Cardinals lead 2-1

I came up in the bottom of the 7th with one out and Bryce Bernadin on 1st. I hit into a double play.

In the 8th we turned another Thompson - Priske - Klesko double play.

Jeff Russell took the ball for us in the 9th.

We turned a Russell - Priske - Klesko double play. (Russell Priske. Heh. That is my actual name.)

But we could not score and that was it.

We only managed three hits and two of them were mine.

I went 2 for 3 with a double, a single, a run scored, and two stolen bases.
