Notes & reviews

Neat running grab
Knocked down the smash
Caveney made the catch with his back to the infield. It was revealed later that Frisch broke a metacarpal bone of the third finger on his right hand sliding into home.
Remarkable job, grabbing the ball by his ear
Fine running catch; robbed of hit
Nice play on bad hopper
Leaping catch
Fine play
Off Caveney's ankle
