I am actually hitting seventh today.
I got into it right away, taking care of a Pat Listach grounder for the 1st out.
I came up in the 2nd with two out and Craig Grebeck on 1st. I flew out to Howard Johnson in centre.

Then Gary Sheffield scored on a wild pitch.
I handled a Johnson grounder for the 3rd out.

I then dealt with a Bohanan grounder for the 3rd out in the 5th.
I led off the bottom half by hitting one up the middle for a single.
With one out, I was replaced with a fielder's choice.

We turned a Naehring - Priske - Lewis double play to end it.

I came up in the 7th with Craig on 1st. They brought Lee Smith in to face me. I hit one crisply to right for a single. Craig went to 2nd.
