Brandon went to the locker room to let what happened sink in. After a while, Claudio Rivas, the tournament manager, approached him and explained what had happened.

Claudio said that the spectator who had made the noise was a fan who had Down syndrome and just became too excited to contain his emotions. With this, Brandon realized that the spectator must be feeling bad so he asked to be taken to the fan.

Brandon then introduced himself to the fan. He hugged him and signed a glove for him. Brandon said, “I gave him a hug and I asked him, ‘Hey, are you doing ok? Are you having fun?’ I just wanted to make sure he was enjoying himself, that he had no hard feelings, that he didn’t feel bad about what happened.”
