"Bailey chugged his way around third base then getting mobbed at home plate by his teammates after becoming the third catcher in major league history to hit a game-ending, inside-the-park home run."
"The three-run shot had an exit velocity of 103.4 mph and bounced off the brick wall at the Giants waterfront ballpark."
"Bailey said his initial thought was to get a triple before he saw third base coach Matt Williams waving him in."
"Bailey couldn’t recall if he had previously hit an inside-the-park home run at any level."
