They threw the fourth pitch outside and he reached out and hit it for a ground-rule double over the right-field fence.

They threw three pitches outside,

He threw a first-pitch fastball. I was looking for it, just wanted to start us off on a rally.

I was hoping it would bounce over the fence for a ground-rule double.

We weren't sure if he caught it just before he hit or as he hit. After he hit the ground, we were glad to see him get back up.

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.
