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
