Notes & reviews

Off Gray's glove
Hit & run; Galloway deked Davis as if it was a grounder
Texas Leaguer
Mean bouncer off Bishop's glove
During this AB, Cochrane fielded a 10' roller on 3B line and ran back to touch home for the 3rd out but Ump Hildebrand ruled it foul. Cochrane argued the call. Later in this AB, Kamm made a sudden dash to the plate while Gray was getting the catcher's sign; Kamm was safe but Faber was nailed at 2B. However, the pitch was ruled ball four and more arguing ensued.
Through Kamm
Schalk missed Falk's throw
Great bare-handed stop
Past Kamm
Nice catch
