March 6th, 1985

Back in the line-up, leading off and playing SS. Facing the Braves. Jim Palmer is pitching.

1st inning. I struck out to start the game.

Later in the 1st, Mike Cole stole 2nd on John Rabb behind the plate. Nothing I could do.

3rd inning. With Rabb on 3rd I hit a double to right. My first spring hit and RBI.

5th inning. Up with Rabb on 3rd and Alejandro Sanchez on 1st and none out. I singled to right, scoring Rabb again! Then I stole 2nd for my first stolen base of the spring.

I tried to score from 2nd on a hit by Chris Brown, but I was thrown out by Reggie Jackson.

6th inning Scot Thompson pinch hit for me.

In the end the Giants lost to the Braves 7-6 in 11 innings.

I went 2 for 3 with 2 RBI and a stolen base. Things are looking better!
