July 19th, 1992

We wrap up in New York today, having split the first two games.

Today the Mets are pitching Kevin Appier (9-9, 3.79).

The Giants are going with Rick Sutcliffe (3-8, 4.33).

I am hitting seventh.

In the bottom of the 1st, Greg Vaughn and Wally Joyner scored on a Benito Santiago single.

Mets lead 2-0

In the 2nd, Mike Gallego scored on a Lenny Dykstra double.

Mets lead 3-0

I led off the 3rd by grounding out to Joyner at 1st.

I caught an Ozzie Guillen liner for the 1st out in the bottom of the 4th.
I then took care of an Appier grounder for the 2nd out.

I led off the 6th. We still hadn't gotten a hit. Until now. I roped one into centre for a single.
I was erased on a fielder's choice by Timothy McKercher.
He ended up scoring on a Robby Thompson single.
Rick scored on a Ruben Sierra sac fly.

Mets lead 3-2

I led off the 8th by striking out.

Mark Ross took the ball for us in the bottom of the 8th.
I got the 1st out for him off an Armando Zambrano grounder.

We couldn't get that last run and dropped the series.

I went 1 for 3 with a single.
