It was poetic justice for him. I told him he might get a chance to win it later.
As he was going up to the plate, (his teammates) were telling him he'd get a chance to swing. The only pitch he swung on all night he hit out of the park.
Not all of those guys start, or even get a lot of chances to get on the field, so to give those guys a shot and come away with a solid win made for a good evening.
