September 14th, 1992

We are in the Astrodome.

Houston is pitching Arthur Rhodes (10-16, 3.78).

The Giants have John Burkett (9-18, 3.25).

I am hitting seventh.

I came up with two out in the 2nd and grounded out to John Olerud at 1st.

I got Harold Baines on a fielder's choice at 2nd, but he dumped me on my ass. I was shaken but not enough to take me out of the game.

A couple of batters later, Felix Jose scored on a Thomas Mitchell single.
Then Tony Pena scored on a Rhodes single.
Mitchell and Rhodes crossed on a Roberto Alomar double.
Alomar scored on a Tony Phillips single and a throwing error by Ruben Sierra.

Astros lead 5-0

I caught a Baines pop for the 1st out in the bottom of the 3rd.

With two on and two out in the 4th, Matt brought in Scott Service.
Mitchell scored on a wild pitch.

Astros lead 6-0

I came up with two out in the 5th and struck out.

I took care of a Jose grounder for the final out in the inning.

Charles Hudson took the ball for us in the 7th.

I handled an Olerud grounder for the 1st out.

I came up with one out in the 8th. I popped out to Alomar at 2nd.

Heathcliff Slocumb relieved for us in the 8th.

We ended up being shutout on only two hits.

Neither were mine as I went 0 for 3.
