Notes & reviews

HP umpire Bill Miller slipped and sprained an ankle covering a foul ball hit by Mo Vaughn near the 3B dugout
umpchange,4,umphome,hohnb901
umpchange,4,ump1b,younl901
umpchange,4,ump2b,(None)
HP umpire Bill Miller left to have his ankle X-rayed; there was no break
the ball by Kearns was called a catch by the three-man umpire crew; the television replay showed that the ball hit the wall and Timo Perez caught it off the barrier; Todd Walker was doubled off 2B before Brady Clark could score a run; Adam Dunn, running from 1B, had passed 2B when Walker ran back to 2B; even if Walker had not been called out on the tagup, Dunn would have been out for passing Walker
