March 8th, 1985

I didn't play today and the Giants finally won a Spring Training game (4-3 over the Cardinals).

I hope these two things are not related.

March 9th, 1985

I am back at SS to face the Cubs.

1st inning... I hit into a routine groundout to 2B... and THEN, after we hit around, I flew out to RF. I made the 1st and 3rd outs int he inning. Not good.

2nd inning... I made a TERRIFIC catch on a liner of Joe Hicks' bat. Nice!

3rd... fielded a ground ball by Steve Engel with no problems... later I got Hicks again with a ground ball to finish the inning.

4th... Head's up play! I cut off a throw from the outfield and caught Steve Engel trying to go to 3rd on a throw to home. We conceded the run but ended the inning.

I grounded out to short with one out and empty bases.

6th inning I was pulled for pinch-hitter Ken Oberkfell.

We ended up winning 10-5, though my day was a little disappointing.

Nice defense though, so it was not all bad.
