Notes & reviews

  • Off Mitchell's glove
  • Fine stop
  • Through Cooney
  • To the flagpole
  • Runners were moving with the pitch. Phils had a great chance for TP but Mitchell's throw pulled Sand off 2B and had trouble finding the bag; his throw to 1B was too late to get Blades scrambling back.
  • Bottomley was trapped off 1B but Hawks threw high in rundown
  • Great stop behind 2B
  • Attempted double steal
  • Bad-bouncing single past Sand
  • Fonseca had an easy DP to 1B but threw wild
  • Fonseca's toss to 2B put Sand out of position to throw to 1B; his DP throw was way wide and rolled to the grandstand.
  • Blades leaned over short RF barrier and robbed Huber of HR
  • To the wall
  • Bottomley was one step away from the bag
  • Just out of Sand's reach
  • Hit nearly to the bleachers at Clubhouse Lane
  • Over RF fence Pitch was on inside part of plate; Mitchell had been pitching him outside all game.
  • 3rd strike was a low curve that looked bad
  • Texas Leaguer
