Notes & reviews

Broken bat
Low throw
Wonderful stop
Off Erhardt's glove
Ball hit bag and bounced away from Tierney
Great play; made a flying grab at the ball, wheeled in the air, and tossed him out. It was a hard stop and a harder throw; from his awkward position he had to bounce the ball to 1B, but it was a perfect bounce.
Texas Leaguer
Roush slid back into 2B and beat Tierney's throw
Past Ehrhardt
Off Ehrhardt's glove
Over SS
ML Debut for Lloyd Brown
