"Hudson began his big day with an innocent infield single that didn't amount to anything as Johnson tossed a scoreless first inning. Hudson then got the Dodgers on the board in the third with a solo home run to left field."
"Needing arguably the most difficult hit of the cycle - a triple - Hudson hit a line drive down the right field line. Hudson turned on the speed and went head-first into third base, just beating Pablo Sandoval's tag."
""I've done a lot of things in Little League and high school and a lot of leagues, but this definitely ranks No. 1. This is special. This is more than an All-Star Game. This means a lot.""
