Notes & reviews

Over Cuyler
To the scoreboard
Skidded past Leach as he came dashing in
Cuyler's throw was ahead of the runner but it bounded high to Gooch who could not get the tag down in time.
Remarkable running back-handed, over-the-shoulder catch before crashing into the fence. One of the greatest catches ever seen.
During this AB Gooch failed on Harper's foul near home plate but was not charged with an error.
Over the fence and into Schenley Park
