Notes & reviews

Low throw past 1B
Caught near Giants dugout
Tagged out
Fine play
Glittering, running catch
Alexander threw only 6 pitches in the 4th inning
Into lower LF stands
Wonderful stop and peg
Running catch
Sensational leaping, 1-hand catch
McQuillan knocked it down
Infield hit over 2B
Fine pickup
Into lower tier far down where the stand turns into CF; one of the longest HRs here this season. HR came after Terry had fouled off two bunt attempts. Henry Fabian and Eddie Brannick measured the HR at 462 feet a few days later.
