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.
