I am hitting sixth today.
I came up in the 2nd with one out and Craig Grebeck on 1st. I walked.
With two out, Antonio Martinez walked, loading the bases.
Al flew out, leaving us all there.
I caught a Chris James liner for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 2nd.
I came up in the 4th with none out and Craig on 2nd. I walked again.
Then Ryan Klesko reached and we loaded the bases on a Randy Milligan error.
We all moved up one base, scoring Craig, on a single by Antonio.
I was thrown out at home on a fielder's choice by Al.
