May 3, 1993
A much needed off day and Coach Lachemann takes the team to see the newly released movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. I guess he’s hoping he won’t wake up to the same team everyday.
May 4, 1993
Viola gets back on track and the Marlins beat the 1st place Braves 5-3. Girardi gets 2 hits and Jordan drives in 2 runs. After the game backup catcher Brian Harper shows his displeasure in playing a backup role and demands to be traded.
May 5, 1993
Darling pitches an absolute masterpiece going the distance allowing 1 run on just 1 hit, but the unearned run in the 5th proves costly as the Braves win 1-0.
May 6, 1993
Another off day as the fish head home for a 6 day homestand.
May 7, 1993
The Cardinals come in with a 15-12 record and the Marlins start off the series with a victory. Jeffery Hammonds goes deep for his 1st Marlins homer a 2-run shot in the 4th to propel the team to a 7-5 win. Glavine only lasts four, but the pen holds the Cards scoreless the last 5 innings. George Brett gets a rare start and goes 1 for 3 with a walk.
May, 8 1993
Girardi and Jordan hit 2-run bombs in the 1st inning, but once again Hershiser struggles as he is doesn’t make it through the 5th allowing 6 runs. Billy Hatcher gets 3 hits and Eric Davis hits his 3rd of the year in a frustrating loss to St. Louis 11-6.
May, 9 1993
This Marlins 7-5 victory might have been more than adding another victory to the win column. Morgan gets win #2, Girardi gets 3 more hits and Caminiti and Hatcher add 2 a piece. The big story might be the bench clearing brawl in the 5th as Jeffery Hammonds was hit in the face by a pitch from Cardinals pitcher Rheal Cormier. (see news below)
The Marlins go 3-2 for the week and better the overall record to 12-18.
