Notes & reviews
- 1-handed catch, but then threw over Terry into the stands
- Hafey fumbled
- Through Hornsby into RF
- First pitch foul tip broke Hartley's 3rd finger, right hand
- Hafey was trapped between 3B and home; he got back but Bell had advanced to 3B and was tagged out.
- Infield hit
- Fine play
- Into lower RF stands
- High/wide throw
- Kelly's smash hit Bell in the head temporarily putting him out, but resumed play after being patched up.
- Fine stop by Terry but threw wild to 2B trying for force
- Bentley failed to touch 1B
- Into lower RF stands Fans swarmed on the field as Bentley trotted around the bases and mobbed him as he crossed the plate.
