Here’s what French had to say after the game.
On the crowd…
“It’s unreal. I mean, their crowd was really loud, and it honestly made the game a lot more exciting, got me pumped up, got me in the game. I was telling some other guys in the first game, the first few innings, it felt like we were in a dream, like it didn’t feel real.
