What did Sal Frelick say about his home run in Game 2 of the World Series?

Sal Frelick said his Game 2 home run was his third of the year and his first ever to center field. He hit it low and at first was willing it to drop in front of the center fielder, then watched him keep backing up until it cleared the fence. Frelick said he blacked out, shouted at the bullpen and rounded the bases quickly because he likes getting back to the dugout to celebrate.

Frelick said Game 1 of the World Series was the most nervous he had ever been, and a hit in his first at-bat settled him.
