Notes & reviews

Todt held up thinking it could be caught
Carlyle muffed it after a brisk scamper
Texas Leaguer; Lamar held up and was almost forced at 2B but Flagstead's throw bounced past Lee; Ezzell chased it and got Lamar at 3B.
Miller misjudged it
Miller ranged way over into Simmons' area
Through Ezzell
It swerved out of Galloway's reach
Simmons got a glove on it but couldn't hold on
2 knucklers followed by an outside fastball
Bad hop over Bishop
Rommell ran at Ruffing and tagged him out near 2B
Past Lee
