Notes & reviews

  • SBH while Graham was winding up; SB3 while Gibson held ball
  • Traynor started the attempted double steal but Moore was boxed between 3B & home. Guessing assists from box scores.
  • Running catch
  • Tagged out by Grantham on a quick play
  • Welsh played it safe; his throw home was cut off by Graham who had Cuyler trapped but he held onto it too long.
  • Off Traynor's glove
  • Off Traynor's knees; he threw late to 1B, Grantham making a good catch of the low throw.
  • Wright juggled DP ball long enough to allow the run to score
  • Attempted double steal
  • Moore knocked down the wicked liner with a high leap
  • 1-handed shoestring catch
  • To the scoreboard
  • 1-handed catch on the grasstops
