Notes & reviews

  • Over Fonseca
  • Past McAuley
  • Through vacated SS spot on hit & run
  • Both runners were going on the pitch.
  • Near the scoreboard
  • Texas Leaguer
  • Ugly grounder bounced past Fonseca
  • DP looked probable; wild throw to McAuley
  • Heathcote misjudged it momentarily and it went over him
  • Hurried throw shot past Sand and rolled toward 3B; Huber charged it and threw low to Mitchell who had dashed to cover 3B. Though the throw was in time to catch Friberg, Mitchell couldn't scoop it in time to make the tag.
  • Fanned on a low spitball
  • Running catch
  • To the bleachers
  • Over Harper
