brad chance dominated gets settled
We had Brad on the ropes, but he battled out there and competed. When you have a chance to put him away, you have to before he gets comfortable and settled in. He pretty much dominated once he got settled in.

When I got to first, I felt the ball in my chest. There must have been some kind of contact with Cruz's glove, then I saw the ball rolling away.

When those guys have the lead, they smell blood. No one expected anything from us.
