June 12th, 1985

In Atlants with the Braves sending up Rick Mahler (7-2, 3.50). We have Jeff Robinson (2-6, 5.46). We need to get our bats in.

Not like that. I started off the game by flying out to Dusty Baker in left.
Before the inning was up, though, Rob Deer put one in the bleachers.

Giants lead 2-0

I got the 2nd out of the bottom frame, taking a grounder from Brad Komminsk.

I led off the 3rd by striking out.

In the 4th Bob Brenly added to the score by matching Deer's homer.

Giants up 4-0!

In the bottom half I was the pivot on an Oberkfell / Priske / O'Malley double play, getting Baker and Bob Horner.

I led off the 5th with another strikeout. Child Davis and Deer pushed a couple more runs across!

Giants up 6-0!

Paul Zuvella popped up to me for the 2nd out that inning. Paul Runge pinch hit for Mahler and I snagged his liner to end the inning.

In the 6th I came up with two out and Kenny O on 1st, now facing Jeff Dedmon (BONG!). I struck out for the 3rd time.

Robinson ran out of steam in the 8th and Nestor brought in Scott Garralts with one out and Gerald Perry on 1st after a walk. Garrelts did not do well. By the time Rafael Ramirez homered it was a mere one run lead.
Ron Davis was brought in to stop the bleeding. He got out of it.

Giants lead 6-5.

I led off the 9th now facing Steve Howe. I singled into right. After Chris Brown popped out I stole 2nd for bag #42. They walked Chili and I then stole 3rd for base #43. I scored on a single by Brenly.

Giants lead 7-5.

In the 9th Atlanta got a runner to 2nd, but that is it.

San Francisco wins 7-5.

We are 28-28

We are home tomorrow with the Padres coming to town.
