"I'm over the moon. I know what kind of player he is, everyone knows what kind of player he is and he caught fire for a minute and I kind of kept my composure looking over to my family," said Baggish post match.

"I got a message in the morning from my sister and she didn't mean to send it to me knowing I was over here. My oldest brother suffered a severe stroke and he had to be brought into emergency surgery to get the clot out of the brain and he's in ICU as we speak. Harrison I love you this is for you."

"Once I got the message, I let out a bag of emotions. The first person I reached out to was Devon Petersen and he gave me his story and telling me do it for him. There is nothing you can take a positive out of that but you're here to play the World Championships, have him on your heart, have him and play for him."
