They were all out at the plate. They started pounding my helmet. It was great.

I just expected [a throw] right when it went past first base. [The throw] felt good, it felt like I was gonna hit her right on line.

Actually, I didn't think it was going over. I thought the centerfielder had a chance to make a play. It was a great feeling after.

It was pretty nerve-racking. If I don't get a hit, the game's over. It's an opportunity you wait for.

When The Helmet Comes Off

We've got guys that started the year struggling terribly at the plate. Now, they're starting to show some signs that they're coming out of that. The second game, execution-wise, yeah we probably could have really busted it open, but we're trying to get better.
