Notes & reviews

Over RCF barrier; landed between the temporary wooden fence and the new wall.
Should've been DP but there was a mixup at 2B and the throw was late.
Brilliant 1-handed catch
Thrilling 1-handed stop and beat him to the bag
Dandy catch
Pretty catch
Hornsby's return throw was low 3 SBs by Cuyler in the inning
Fine stop
Fine assist; robbed of hit
Earlier in the AB Shinners made a pretty bunt that rolled fouled just before reaching 3B.
Fine catch near the flagpole
Through Moore
Bare-handed stop
