Notes & reviews

Leaping catch
Off Gerber's glove
Off Vangilder's glove
18-game hitting streak; Lamar blocked Gerber's view. Jacobson's throw landed in a corner of SLA dugout.
Nifty play
First run off Rommel in 20 innings
Over RCF wall, landing on a 20th Street awning
Miller dove for it and thought he had it but the umps ruled no catch; Williams tried sneaking to 2B while PHA argued the call.
Bare-handed stop
Poole body-blocked it and beat Robertson to the bag
