Notes & reviews

replay,7,laroa001,WAS,davig901,PHI13,O,N,I,,H $Adam LaRoche's fly hit the top of the metal railing above the scoreboard in RF and caromed back onto the field; LaRoche assumed it was a homer even though it was ruled in play by the umpires; Jayson Werth stopped at 3B but LaRoche continued his home run trot past 2B; he finally stopped half way to 3B and was caught in a rundown; the Nationals asked about the ruling so crew chief Gerry Davis watched the replay and upheld the call of ball in play
