Opening statement
"Incredible game. Guys played really, really hard. I was just fired up because it was a team win. We threw more pitchers than we had in that game in pretty much any game all season. Had multiple big contributions off the bench and guys played with energy and played really hard. We trailed in that game in the sixth and I felt like the at-bats just kept getting better and better and the concentration and guys just willed their way and found a way to win. So really proud of the group."
