Notes & reviews

Off Sheely's bare hand
Over Boone
Past Davis
Unknown trajectory
Hit & run
Collins went for it instead of letting Hooper take it but he couldn't hold on and it got away from him.
Great 1-handed, over-the-shoulder catch near LF grandstand. One of the most remarkable catches seen at Comiskey Park in many years.
Williams fumbled
Over Mostil
Hit & run
Nice catch
