Notes & reviews

high bouncer over Darling's head
Candaele let it bounce through his legs into RF
Wilson bobbled ball on his CF pickup
Routine grounder back to Sebra who threw to third to catch Wilson between 2nd and 3rd but Wilson dodged the tag attempt and Sebra was late covering third on return throw but stepped on Wilson's forearm and spiked him; meanwhile Lyons reached second
