August 21st, 1992

The Pirates are in town for three games.

Today they are pitching Jose Iniguez (5-6, 3.22).

The Giants have Al Leiter (1-1, 6.06).

I am hitting third! Interesting...

I came up with two out in the bottom of the 1st and I hit one into the right field corner for a triple!
I was stranded.

The Pirates struck first, as in the top of the 2nd, Dave Nilsson scored on a Dave Silvestri groundout.
Then Kevin Bass scored on a Dick Schofield single.

Pirates lead 2-0

I took care of a John Valentin grounder for the 1st out in the 3rd.
But then Marcus Carter scored on a Sid Bream double.

Pirates lead 3-0

I came up with one out in the 4th and I flew out to Carter in centre.

The Bucs kept at it in the 5th when Bream and Nilsson scored on a Bass double.

Matt made a change after that, brining in Scott Service.
He immediately gave up a two run homer to Dwight Evans.

Pirates lead 7-0

I came up in the 6th with two out, Timothy McKercher on 3rd, and Bryce Bernadin on 1st.
I grounded out, but Timothy scored.. not so fast! Error! I was safe!
Bryce advanced to 2nd.
We were left on.

Pirates lead 7-1

In the 7th I took care of an Evans grounder for the 2nd out. Nice play.

Bryan Hickerson took the ball for us in the 8th.
I handled a grounder by pinch hitter Lee Stevens for the 1st out.

I then came up with two out in the bottom of the 8th. Bill Gullickson was pitching. I flew out to Bass in left.

We never came back.

I went 1 for 4 with a triple. (I should have gotten an RBI but the scorer robbed me).
