Notes & reviews

  • Nice running catch near the flagstaff
  • Great heave home by Youngs
  • NYEW: Jackson knocked down the smash headed for LF and Carey was run down between 3B & home. Rawlings was out trying to get back to 2B, while Cuyler was out returning to 1B. Great action picture of this triple play in PGT.
  • Off Jackson's glove
  • Into the lower tier of the new RF stands
  • Carey fumbled
  • Off Terry's ankle
  • Hit & run
  • Running catch; Carey surprised Southworth whose late hurried throw went past Gowdy.
  • The breeze carried it over Barnhart to the scoreboard
  • The smash glanced off Aldridge's shins
  • NYEW coverage ended here
  • Nice stop
  • Over Jackson
  • Running catch by Meusel; daring base running by Carey caught Meusel by surprise.
  • Knocked down the smash; close play at 1B
  • Nice catch off his knees on the dead run
  • To the fence
  • Off Traynor's shoulder
  • Close to the stands
  • Past Traynor
  • Off Groh's legs/collar bone
  • Texas Leaguer fell safe at Southworth's feet
  • Wayland Dean was painfully hurt pitching batting practice. A line drive from Southworth struck him on the left knee and when he fell his left ankle buckled under him. He had to be assisted from the field.
