Notes & reviews

Terry: spectacular backhand catch of low line drive
Slow roller
Into upper tier of RF stands
Low throw
Mitchell was trapped off 2B but Walker made a wide/low throw to Cohen.
Welsh leaped, struck the ball with his glove, then caught it in a second grab for it. Mitchell had left 2B believing the ball had got away from Welsh and was doubled up.
Low throw to Terry
Wilson: 1-hand catch close to Giant dugout
Past Cohen
Welsh: running catch
Into lower tier of RF stands
Into lower tier of LF stands
Torrid smash off Walker's glove
