That shot Bowman hit was a tough shot. Torin (Francis) rode him into the cheerleaders and he hit a lefty runner. That's just a talented play. You can't do much better than what he did right there.

I wasn't going to give Taguchi anything good to hit with a lefty on deck, ... The guy is one of those punch hitters that when he gets those hits, he won't hurt me with the long ball. This is a good win to go back to the house with.

It's very tough to break him because he has a very big lefty serve,

You have to take your hat off to Kobe. Kobe hit some tough shots. We double-teamed him and I thought we were there and contesting the shots on the four jumpers he hit. Down the stretch, he won the game for them.

If you put someone in position to hit a lucky shot and they're capable of doing it, it happens.

We had some great individual efforts and it was a great game. They hit every shot.
