August 28th, 1991
After playing a bunch yesterday despite needing a day off, I have another shot at a day off today.
The Giants are hosting the Cubs.
Once again, though, I was called in. I took over in a double switch after Scott Service struggled in the 6th. Mike Scott took over on the mound and I took over at short.
We were tied 6-6.
I came up in the bottom of the 6th with one out, Fran Mullins on 1st, and Don Strange pitching,
I hit into a double play.
I came up in the bottom of the 8th with one out, Timothy McKercher on 3rd, Rick Cerone on 2nd, Rance Mulliniks on 1st, and Mitch Williams coming in to face me.
I dumped one into right for a two run single!
Luis Medina followed by hitting into a double play.
Giants lead 8-6
Tom Kramer took over for us in the 9th.
We turned a Mullins - Priske - Davis double play to get Brady Anderson and Bret Barberie.
Scott Fletcher grounded out and we had the win.
I went 1 for 2 with a single and two rbi.
