June 8th, 1986

Today the Reds are pitching Jeff Russell (1-1, 3.38).
The Giants are back to Dennis Eckersley (8-2, 1.90).

I have gone 4 for 12 vs Russell!

I led off the home half by singling through the right side! I quickly picked up stolen base #43. With one out I scored on a Chili Davis single.

Giants lead 1-0.

In the 2nd I came up with one out and Lee Mazzilli on 1st. Lee moved up on a wild pitch and then I moved him to 3rd with a deep fly to centre. Unfortunately he was left there.

In the 3rd Chili walked and later scored on a Bob Brenly sac fly.

Giants lead 2-0.

The Reds got one back in the 4th off a Gary Redus solo homer.

Giants lead 2-1.

I came up with one in the bottom of the 4th and struck out.

I made my first defensive play in the 5th, taking an Eric Davis grounder for the 3rd out.

In the 6th I came up with one out, Kenny Oberkfell on 3rd, and Mazzilli on 2nd. Ted Power was now pitching. I grounded out to Al Newman at 3rd and couldn't even move the runners. Thankfully Chris Brown picked me up and singled them both home.

Giants lead 4-1.

In the 7th, something devastating happened. Eck felt something in his back go tight and had to leave the game.
If he is hurt... we are hurt.

Jeff Robinson took over with one out.

In the bottom half, things went better. Mike Aldrete singled with one out. Then new pitcher, Rob Murphy, walked Brenly. They both move dup on a wild pitch and then Kenny O singled, scoring Mike. Mazzilli hit a sac fly to score Bob. Tom O'Malley pinch hit for Robinson and walked. I then came up and singled, scoring Kenny!

Giants lead 7-1!

Mike Perez came in to pitch for us in the 8th. I started a nice Priske - Oberkfell - Deer double play to get Eric Davis and Ryne Sandberg to end the inning.

In the 8th we got another as Rob Deer scored on a double by Aldrete.

Giants lead 8-1.

Three outs later and we had ended the Cincinnati win streak!

I went 2 for 5 with an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base!

We found out after the game that Bob Brenly and Chili Davis were leading their positions in All-Star voting, which is cool.

More importantly, we found out that Eck's sore back is not too serious and he shouldn't even miss his next start!

It also seems that Colin Ward cleared waivers and is staying with the organization.

Robby Thompson was activated from the D.L. and Scott Bradley was sent to Phoenix.

We have an off-day and then the Braves come to town!
