Notes & reviews

  • PGT: 100 minutes
  • Sharply hit
  • Fiery hit
  • Caught looking at a curve
  • Good fielding by Bigbee held Flack to a single
  • Maranville juggled what could've been a DP
  • Sprinting catch
  • Poorly played by Schmidt, but Myers credited with a hit
  • Poorly played by Russell
  • Carey strained his back while attempting to catch the ball and he required first aid. After a short rest he remained in the game.
  • Carey fumbled
  • Nice catch
  • Just out of Rabbit's reach
  • Caught near the flagpole and LCF bleachers. Ainsmith had failed to bunt just before this wallop.
  • Slashed a wicked liner off Kunz' left leg, the ball rolling toward 1B.
  • Sharply hit
  • Pfeffer dozed on the return throw and was caught off 2B in a rundown. SLS: ...2X2(845)
  • Sensational 1-handed catch near the fence to rob Bigbee of an extra base hit.
  • Grimm now has 15-game hitting streak
  • It began to sprinkle as the Cards came to bat
  • Tierney fumbled the relay
  • Carey fumbled
  • PGT: 3/L
  • Brilliant running catch
  • Box scores reported Russell with an assist today
