Notes & reviews

Over LF wall
Misjudged by Weis
Henline dropped the high popup
Through Sand
Hartnett fouled off 'half a dozen'
Into RF seats
Into LF bleachers
Williams surprised everybody by hitting to LF against the shift.
Nice running 1-handed catch
Wrightstone tried a shoestring catch but it slipped past him
