August 28th, 1992

We are in Wrigley to kick off a road trip.

The Cubs are pitching Greg Maddux (15-7, 3.38).

The Giants have Charlie Vinson Jr. (8-12, 3.25).

Tough challenge.
I am hitting seventh.

I caught a Mark Grace pop for the 1st out in the bottom of the 2nd.

I then led off the 3rd by striking out.

I handled a grounder by Willie Murray for the 1st out in the bottom of the 4th.
The Cubs opened the scoring that inning when Chris Hoiles crossed on a Bret Barberie single.

Cubs lead 1-0

I took care of a Maddux grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 5th.

I led off the 6th by dropping one into short centre for a single (only our second hit of the day).
With one out, Charlie bunted me over to 2nd.
I scored on a Mark Lewis single.

Game tied 1-1

In the bottom half they got it right back when, again, Hoiles scored on a Barberie single.

Cubs lead 2-1

In the 7th, Charlie walked in a run.
Matt brought in Scott Service then, facing loaded bases and only one out.
He immediately walked in another run.

Cubs lead 4-1

I came up with two out in the 8th. I singled to centre again.
I was left at 1st.

We lost.

I went 2 for 3 with a pair of singles and a run scored.
