Notes & reviews

Welsh misjudged the liner
Over Jahn to the scoreboard
Mann misjudged it; wind-aided
Stopped it with his body and held it to a single
To the flagpole; Felix misjudged it
Threw it into LF
Single took high hop over Welsh
High fly dropped between Weis and Adams
Nice stop of high bounder 10' back of 2B; just getting to it was quite a play as he jumped to reach it, but making the long accurate throw while running into the outfield was marvelous.
