Notes & reviews

Caught near dugout
Cleared the wire fence into LCF bleachers
Nice stop
Fast DP
Into LF bleachers
Nice play
Nice catch
During this AB, Hartnett made a snap throw to 3B. Mueller slid back but Friberg fell over him while making the catch. Mueller was enraged and kicked at him, but no damage done.
From deep SS, back on the grass
Nice play
