The Mets are in town for an afternoon game. They are pitching Dwight Gooden (3-3, 3.50).
The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (3-1, 3.47).

I have gone 2 for 11 vs Gooden.

I led off the home half of the 1st by flying out to Darryl Strawberry in right.

In the 3rd I started a nice Priske - Oberkfell - Deer double play to get Dave Cochrane and Randy Milligan.

I came up that inning with two out and grounded out to Hubie Brooks at short.

Same situation in the 6th only this time I grounded out to Ken Phelps at 1st.

In the 7th we finally out a notch in this pitcher's duel as Rob Deer managed a solo home run off Gooden.

Giants lead 1-0.

And that was it! Bruce pitched a 4-hit shutout, striking out 9!

We are now 26-12!

No hits for me that game, but it was that kind of game.
