biggest game hit middle nobody pressure single spot third
Actually, I think the biggest at-bat of that whole inning was Quintero's. He got the single up the middle, and we went first-to-third there. Now, we got first and third and nobody out. We got pressure on them. That was a big spot in the game to come up with that hit up the middle with two strikes.

bit early finally game middle pitch stay struggling swung trying

It was my first time and you don't know how to take that. Whether it's going to be career threatening or if it's something that you got to have surgery on where you might not be able to play. It was luckily something that could be taken care of.
