Notes & reviews

After a wide ball had been pitched, Fournier walked toward the box as if to express words of encouragement. This led the unsuspecting Blades to stray several feet away from 1B, and the next instant Johnston slipped up behind him to catch a snap throw from Taylor, catching Blades flat-footed.
