September 9th, 1992

It is bad when you are counting the games left so you can put this season behind you.

Today the Astros are in town and pitching Rheal Cormier (10-5, 3.48).

The Giants have John Burkett (8-18, 3.27).

I am hitting second.

John Olerud hit a solo home run in the top of the 1st.

Astros lead 1-0

I came up in the bottom of the inning with Mark Lewis on 1st. I singled through the right side and advanced to 2nd when they futilely tried to throw Mark out at 3rd.
We both scored on a Tim Naehring single with one out.
Tim scored on a Craig Grebeck single.

Giants lead 3-1

I took care of a Thomas Mitchell grounder for the 3rd out in the 2nd.

I then came up with two out in the bottom of the 2nd and singled to right again.
Stolen base #71.
I was stranded.

In the 3rd, Cormier scored on a Tony Phillips single.

Giants lead 3-2

I handled an Andre Dawson grounder for the 2nd out in the 4th.

I led off in the 5th by hitting a Cormier changeup off the left field fence for a double.
Stranded again.

I caught a Dawson pop for the 1st out in the 7th.

With one out and a man on, Matt brought in Joe Boever.
We turned a Grebeck - Priske - Lewis double play.

I came up in the bottom half with one out and Mark on 1st. They brought Terry Leach in to face me. I lined out to Phillips at 3rd.

Mark Ross took the ball for us in the 8th and then Jeff Russell took the 9th.

I handled a grounder from pinch hitter Dwight Smith for the final out of the game.

I went 3 for 4 with a double, two singles, a run scored, and a stolen base.
