...outscored 6-2 in the middle frames—including 3-0 in the third—to fall behind 8-5 entering the fourth quarter. “We didn’t capitalize on a couple of shots that we had early on,” co-captain Nick Smith said. “If we had made a couple of shots earlier on, it would’ve been a different game.

Said one, "He's one of the best men I've ever met. The captain never gave this crew up, not once." Said another: "We're all doing better now... all excited about the captain being free." Indeed, soon after tugboats pushed the Maersk Alabama into port, crew members began to praise Phillips. "He saved our lives!" said one man, identified by The Associated Press...
