August 20th, 1992

We are trying to void a sweep by the Cubs today.

They are pitching David Palmer (13-7, 3.41)

The Giants have John Burkett (7-16, 3.53).

I am hitting seventh.

In the 2nd, Ivan Rodriguez scored on a Palmer single.

Cubs lead 1-0

I came up in the bottom half with two out and Craig Grebeck on 1st. I grounded out to Travis Fryman at short.

I then led off the bottom of the 5th by grounding out to Bret Barberie at 2nd.
That inning Timothy McKercher scored on a Mark Lewis single to tie the game!

Game tied 1-1

I caught a Rodriguez pop for the 1st out in the 6th.

I then caught a Tim Barker pop for the 1st out in the 7th.

I came up in the bottom of the 7th with Craig on 1st again. I flew out to Willie Murray in centre.
The rest of the inning went better. Craig ended up scoring on a throwing error and pinch hitter Aaron Morris hit a two run homer!

Giants lead 4-1

Mark Ross came in to close it out for us in the 9th. He gave up a pair of single but I took care of a Murray grounder for the 3rd out and we had the win!

Not a great game for me, though. I went 0 for 3.

Tomorrow the Pirates come to town.
