I am hitting sixth.
I got the 3rd out of the game off a Benito Santiago grounder.
In the bottom of the 1st, Mark Lewis and Ruben Sierra scored on a Jerry Browne single.
I fouled out to the catcher.

They got them back in the Top of the 2nd when Kevin Mitchell doubled home Mike Gallego and Appier.
Game tied 2-2
I handled a Chris Sabo grounder for the 3rd out in the 3rd.

Then Gallego scored on a Mitchell sac fly.
