Today we've got the Padres. They are pitching Mark Langston while the Giants have Eric Show.

Brian Giles is starting at short.

I entered as a pinch runner for Steve Stanicek in the 8th and scored. I stayed to play short. We were up 4-3 and Mark Davis was pitching for us. Billy Ripken doubled home Lou Frazier in the top of the 9th to tie the game. I got Tony Gwynn out on a Harold Reynolds fielder's choice, but Ripken scored on the play to give the Padres the lead.

Padres lead 5-4

We went 3 up, 3 down in the bottom half and that was the game.
