Notes & reviews

  • Fine catch
  • Kaufmann ran into Kremer and knocked him down, allowing Hartnett to tag him out, but Ump Rigler declared Kremer safe due to interference.
  • Fine catch near the line
  • Fine catch and neat off-balance throw
  • 1-handed catch
  • Low throw to Thompson
  • Thrilling assist
  • Delayed steal; Thompson dashed for 3B as Hartnett threw low to 2B. Grigsby threw over Freigau.
  • Over Grigsby
  • Over LF wall
  • Fine play
  • Yde and Hartnett almost came to blows after the latter blocked Yde off the plate; Yde wrestled with HP umpire Rigler trying to get at Hartnett. Yde was ejected by Rigler.
  • Sensational catch
  • Flied out after failing SH
  • Was distracted by Traynor
  • Momentarily fumbled, then threw wide
  • Wheeled to throw to 3B but Traynor had charged in
