We are trying to bounce back from the extra inning loss yesterday.

Today the Cubs are pitching Randy Johnson (8-12, 3.65).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (7-10, 3.57).

I am hitting seventh.

Before we even recorded an out, Travis Fryman scored on a Willie Murray double.
Paul O'Neill scored on a Mark Grace sac fly.

Cubs lead 2-0

In the 2nd, Brian Jordan scored on a Fryman single.

Cubs lead 3-0

I came up with one out in the bottom of the inning. I grounded out to Fryman at short.

I took care of a Chris Hoiles grounder for the 3rd out in the 3rd.

I came up in the bottom of the 4th with Craig Grebeck on 1st. I walked.
Then Timothy McKercher also walked, loading the bases.
With one out, both Craig and I scored on a Mark Lewis double.

Cubs lead 3-2

We turned a Grebeck - Priske - Lewis double play to end the top of the 5th.

We tied it up in the bottom of the 5th when Tim Naehring scored on a single by Craig.
Then I came up and flew out to O'Neill in right.

Game tied 3-3

Scott Service took the ball for us in the 7th.

I led off the bottom of the 8th, now facing Ed Wojna. I flew out to Jordan in deep left.

Jeff Russell got the ball in the 9th.
Travis Fryman hit a two run homer.

Cubs lead 5-3

And that is how it ended.

I went 0 for 3 with a walk and a run scored.
