Notes & reviews

Off the fence near the flagpole
Nice running catch
Dickerman thought about throwing home; hesitation cost DP
Harper came in for the liner but it dipped and shot past him. Wrightstone pursued it around the corner of the bleachers and made the long return to 3B instead of hitting the cut-off man (Sand).
To the flagpole
Off the scoreboard
Out of Bottomley's reach
Over RF fence
Diving stop
Low liner
