I got a pitch I could handle. The rest of the game was lights out for the defense and the pitching.

You got to bust your tail, because the one thing I learned is that in this game, they're not going to give you nothing.

Definitely. I was hoping right there that we could get something going, and we did. We scratched out a run. We just needed to scratch out a few more.

I just hoped I didn't smash into that wall like I did earlier in the year, and just went on and caught the ball. Coming off that sky and the lights, it's hard to judge the depth of it. I got up on it, and next thing you know I put just my hands up and it went into my glove.

You never know what it's going to be, a bunt, a safety squeeze.

I was blowing, too. But he's been here a few years; he knows how to keep it fair.
