It's good to get a run but, if we get a hit in that situation, it could probably put a little more pressure on Ortiz. He caught his groove after that.
I got the run in, but if I get a hit, we get two runs and put even more pressure on their pitcher. Sometimes in those situations, you need to keep the ball out of the air and hit a line drive.
I remember Craig Biggio standing in the on-deck circle encouraging me, saying it was a good time to get that first one out of the way. Tony Gwynn was playing right field, and I hit a line drive in front of him.
I only have one question: 'Do I look good running the bases?' Because I almost forgot how to do it. He just happened to leave a ball out over the plate, and I hit it the way I've been wanting to hit it for a while.
