Notes & reviews

replay,6,shefg001,NYN,vanol901,NYC20,I,N,I,,H $a fan with a glove reached over the railing and tried to catch the ball but it hit his glove, the wall and then the ground; third base umpire Adrian Johnson called it a homer; acting crew chief Larry Vanover (in the absence of chief Charlie Reliford) watched a replay and upheld the original call after an eight-minute delay; it was the third consecutive day that the Mets were involved in replays and all calls went their way
