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
