Game Start: 7:05 PM
Weather: 72 deg. Clear Skies with a 9 MPH wind blowing out to center.

Frank Wiginton flies out to center. Randy Penn grounds out to 1st. Rich Babbin grounds out to short.

Bottom of the 1st: Hilton Waggoner flies out to left. Marv Helton lines an 0-2 pitch to center for a hit. Eddie Jasper walks. Dick Hedrick doubles of the right field wall and both runners score. 2 to 0, Pirates. Jerry Ford flies out to left. 2 down. Full count to Masanori Ishii and he takes ball four. Full count to Dave Lantz and he takes ball four. Bases loaded. Jim Cooke strikes out!

Top of the 3rd: P Randy Carlson strikes us out in order, 1-2-3.

Top of the 5th: Joe Hartin leads off with a hit, our first of the game. With 2 outs, Ivan Lopez doubles down the left field line, but Hartin stops at 2rd. With 2 outs and the pitcher coming up, I think I would have sent him home.... P Alan Gross doubles! 2 runs score to tie the game!

Bottom of the 5th: With 1 out, Jerry Ford hits a home run to left. 3 to 2, Pirates.

Top of the 7th: New pitcher: RHP Greg Richey, our old teammate. 2.65 ERA since the trade. Jim Eighmy leads off by reaching on an error by SS Dick Hedrick. Ron Charles tries to bunt, but cannot make contact, so he beats out an infield hit instead. Pinch-Hitter: LHB Jerry Alston. He grounds into a 6-4-3 double play and Eighmy goes to 3rd. Pinch-Hitter: SHB Eric McCornack. He pops out to 3rd....

Top of the 9th: New pitcher: RHP Jimmy Nester, their closer. With 2 outs, Jim Eighmy sneds one deep to right, but it is caught in the warning track to end the game.

Lost - 3 to 2
