Notes & reviews

  • High off the RF wall
  • High bounder
  • Sensational 1-handed stop
  • Near the flagpole
  • Great running catch
  • Wild throw past Moore was too hard at close range
  • Off Moore's knees
  • High into LF bleachers
  • Sand pulled his hind foot off the bag before catching the throw. He stabbed at the bag with his foot, then tried to tag Bigbee.
  • Past a diving Holke
  • DP grounder headed for SS; Mitchell flung up his glove to stop it but it twisted loose and rolled away.
  • Diving try by Harper
  • With his back against the scoreboard, Williams raised his glove as if he was going to catch it, but it hit high off the wall, barely missing a HR by 2'. Moore had retreated to 3B to tag up, slowing the advancement of other runners. Barnhart had to hold up at 3B and Traynor was trapped and run down by Fonseca.
  • Running catch. Had it not been caught it probably would have bounded over the wall for a HR.
  • Fell close to the base of the wall and caromed back. Had it been a few feet shorter it would've bounded into the stands for a home run.
