After the game, Bell shared with WLFI his excitement in having a new family member be born at one of his games.

"It's a blessing," Bell said. "Her whole idea was to try to have the baby before the game but, you know it’s all in God’s timing. Now I have a new niece, so hopefully I get to see her when I come back to the city."
