It certainly wasn't expected, and I wasn't sure how I would perform under that 9th inning pressure, having just gone 8 of my very best innings. But who was I to reject her more than generous offer? I did what any soldier would do, IMO. Even mid-inning, I wasn't sure how that was one was going to end. We were also racing the clock, but in hindsight I think she was using that as motivation and made it her mission. It just seemed to make her that much more enthusiastic, and well...
