"This was Hoff's (Hoffman) day 100%" Head Coach Evan Horn said, "Hoff is a great teammate that loves the game. I was joking with Matt (Meyers) while he was on 3rd base before the game winning hit saying after his first at bat (strikeout) I would be happy for a fly out. Meyers said that this was a sure game winning single through the hole at short and 3rd and sure enough he was right. I felt great for him after the hit because I know how excited he was'
