Notes & reviews

Low throw
Low/wide throw '...that Terry couldn't have reached with a butterfly net'.
Blades muffed the fly and kicked the ball to the infield
Great running 1-handed catch
Into lower RF stands
High bounder
Mueller and Hafey collided; they were badly shaken up and time was called for them.
Bentley collided with Hartley but hung on
