Notes & reviews

Hit on the hand
Over SS
Great running catch
Welsh tried for a 1-handed scooping catch but it got by him
Off Caveney's glove
Great play
Bad throw to Benton
Fine stop but poor throw to Donohue at 1B caused a collision with Welsh, allowing Harris to score.
Gibson reached out on the intentional ball and poked it to LF
Jumping catch
Shot through Bancroft before he could get his hands down
Hit on the neck
Benton replaced with 2-0 count; charge this BB to him
