Notes & reviews

  • Through Adams' legs
  • Tough play
  • Maranville knocked down the line drive
  • Rain began to fall. The sky was clear over the stadium but dark clouds were back of the grandstand. The sprinkle lasted only a few minutes.
  • To LCF fence
  • Nice running catch
  • Cleared a wire fence, hit the brick wall beyond the corner of LF, and landed in a concrete runway.
  • During Blake's AB, Snyder was hit on the right knee by a foul tip but continued although unable to crouch.
  • NYT: A good throw would've stopped the run
  • Caromed off Greenfield past Kelly into RF
  • Slow hopper off Adams' glove
  • During Gowdy's AB, Harnett was hit in the chest by a foul and it was some minutes before he resumed his position.
