Notes & reviews

Through Moore's hands
Niehaus fumbled then threw wide to Kremer on 1B
Great running 1-handed catch near fence
Bush slipped while fielding it; Harnett muffed his throw as Barnhart crashed into him, and it rolled away.
On the pitch before the walk, Grimm was hit squarely in the pants but Ump Sweeney said he didn't try to dodge the ball.
Moore was fooled by the wind-blown ball.
Heathcote fumbled
Off Friberg's glove
Through Heathcote
Off Barrett's glove
Over Carey to the CF fence
Over RCF fence PGT: Miller drove the ball higher and farther over the RF fence than had previously been recorded by any hitter who swings from the right side of the plate.
To the scoreboard
Over Statz
Fine catch
Another fine catch
Bounced off Koupal's shins into foul territory behind 3B. He was hurt but stayed in the game>
Over RF fence
Grimm ejected by 1B umpire O'Day for arguing call at 1B
Barnhart had trouble getting to it
Backhanded circus stop, but throw home was late
