Notes & reviews
- Came in fast
- Nice play
- Youngs up-ended Adams at 2B preventing DP
- Into lower RF stands, close to the foul line
- Through Terry
- Fine play from behind 2B
- Infield hit; high bounder over/off Keen's glove
- Running catch
- NYT: So close to LF wall that Griffith couldn't grasp it
- Jackson threw high to Barnes covering 1B on DP try
