Notes & reviews

High leaping catch
Barnes deflected it
The first homer by a Braves player over LF fence in the history of the park, and only the second player ever (Frank Snyder did it earlier this year). The wind was blowing strongly out, but it was a terrific drive. The ball cleared the top of the fence by 50 feet midway between the scoreboard and foul line. Snyder's hit was 50 feet closer to LCF but cleared the fence by 10-12 feet. Wind conditions for both HRs were similar.
Running catch
To the scoreboard
Padgett's throw hit Smith on the shoulder; caromed into RF
Flack tried for a shoestring catch
Ordinary single skidded past Shinners and rolled to the scoreboard. Barnes' first/only ML HR.
