September 11th, 1992
We are in L.A. I am feeling refreshed after my day off.
Today the Dodgers are pitching Mark Langston (10-13, 2.50).
The Giants have Pat Combs (7-6, 3.30).
I am hitting third!
I came up in the top of the 1st with Mark Lewis on 2nd and Antonio Martinez on 1st. I punched a base hit to left to load the bases.
Phil Plantier robbed Tim Naehring of a Grand Slam but Mark scored on the sac fly.
Antonio scored and I went to 2nd on a two out single by Ryan Klesko.
Ryan and I were left on.
Giants lead 2-0
In the home half of the 1st, Chili Davis hit a solo home run.
Giants lead 2-1
I led off the 3rd by hitting a Langston fastball over the right field wall! HOME RUN! My second of the year!
Giants lead 3-1
I next came up in the 5th, with one out and Mark on 1st. While I was at the plate, Mark was thrown out trying to steal 2nd. I then walked.
Stolen base #72.
I was stranded at 2nd.
I took care of a Pat Listach grounder for the final out in the 5th.
In the 6th, Pat hit a three-run homer! PAT!!
Giants lead 6-1
I came up in the 7th with Antonio on 1st. Fernando Valenzuela was pitching. I flew out to Plantier in left.
I handled a Howard Johnson grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the inning.
Bryan Hickerson took the ball for us in the 8th.
I dealt with a Davis grounder for the 3rd out behind him.
I came up with two out in the 9th. Pedro Borbon was pitching. I walked for the second time.
I got no further.
Bryan threw his second perfect inning and we had the win.
I went 2 for 3 with a HOME RUN, a single, a walk, a run scored, an RBI, and a stolen base.
I was overshadowed by Pat, though.
