[The Giants] were particularly giggly about Darren Baker, the three-year-old batboy and son of the manager, who ran toward home plate to retrieve a bat just as [J.T.] Snow was scoring on a triple by [Kenny] Lofton. Snow, in midstride, grabbed the kid by the front of his jacket and dragged him out of danger as [David] Bell came barreling home. Only the night before, the boy had run onto the field while a throw from the outfield was still in play, having skidded to the backstop. "I'm just glad he didn't get hurt," [Rich] Aurilia said. "If we lost the game or something happened, we'd all be looking at it in a different way."
