Notes & reviews

Leach threw over 3B and into the dugout
Over the LF screen but limited to 2 bases while wreckers were tearing out the bleachers.
Came in fast
When Rabbit threw to 2B Burns bluffed for home forcing Adams to throw plateward instead of trying for DP. Burns barely made it back to 3B ahead of Hartnett's peg.
Into the condemned LF bleachers
Cubs raised a roar over the 4th called ball
Kimmick didn't slide
Came in fast
