Notes & reviews

Into upper tier of LF wing of stands, just inside foul line
Hit against upper tier of RF stands
Running catch caught close to the grandstand
Infield hit; high bounder over Aldridge
Traynor's throw to Grantham was in time to get Wilson but Hack slid under the tag.
Fine pickup NYTEM coverage ended here
Earlier in the AB, Moore just missed another HR down LF line
Texas Leaguer
Looked at a curve
Fine play by Frisch and Terry; Pie was out by inches
Spectacular running catch robbed Wright
Youngs, Ump O'Day, and Smith jockeyed about the plate after Youngs had taken two balls. Pep stepped out of the box when Aldridge hesitated on the mound. Then O'Day stepped out and began to dust off the plate. Smith also moved out to make it unanimous.
With a 2-2 count on Kelly, Aldridge and Smith had a conference. Aldridge then tried to break a curve over the outside corner that Ump O'Day called a ball. Aldridge and Smith were vigorous in their protests; Smith had quite a rumpus with O'Day; Kelly drove the next pitch into the LF stands about 10 feet foul. He then was called out on a fine curve. There were many cheers for Aldridge.
Pretty catch
Off Kelly's hand
Remarkable throw from deep RF by Cuyler to Traynor on the fly
Into upper LF stands
Hit over Carey; low relay throw home went past Smith
Sheehan knocked it down
Cuyler held it to a single
Smith crashed into Terry at 1B
Youngs caught Barnhart napping and stretched the single
Low liner NYEW coverage ended here
Close play at home. Earlier in this AB, Moore's fly to LF looked like a hit but just fell foul.
Circus stop; close play at 1B
Moore collided with Snyder and knocked the ball loose
Low throw
Off Traynor's glove
Spectacular assist; scooped & threw in one motion, nipping Jackson on a close play.
Stole as Sheehan threw to 1B
After pitching ball 2 to Frisch, Sheehan collapsed, falling to the ground with a wrenched left side; he was taken out.
Pretty catch
