April 17th, 1992

Kicking off a series against the Reds.

They are pitching Jim Abbott (1-0, 1.08).

The Giants have Charlie Vinson Jr. (0-1, 2.25).

I am hitting clean-up.

I came up in the bottom of the 1st with two out and Ruben Sierra on 1st.
While I was at the plate, Ruben stole 2nd.
Then he scored as I drove a single up the middle.
Stolen base #7.
I was stranded.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off the bottom of the 4th by slapping another single up the middle.
With two out I grabbed stolen base #8.
I was left on again.

I came up next with one out in the 6th. I grounded out to Mark McGwire at 1st.

Then, in the 8th, I came up with two out, Jerry Browne on 2nd, and Scott Terry on the bump. Another RBI single, driving Jerry home!
Stolen base #9.
I was left at 2nd again.

Giants lead 2-0

I snagged a Paul Molitor liner for the 2nd out in the 9th.
I then started a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to end the game.

Charlie got the shut out!

I had a heck of a game, though. I went 3 for 4 with three singles, two RBI, and three stolen bases.
