Notes & reviews

  • Ott's throw to 3B hopped over Lindstrom's head. Grimm injured his left hand sliding head first into 2B; time was called for him but he remained in the game.
  • Fine pickup
  • Close play was disputed
  • Hot grounder bounced off Grimm's shoe to Hornsby
  • High bounder off Genewich's glove
  • Nice play
  • Slow roller
  • Assuming 2-3
  • Speculated the fielders
  • Into lower LF stand
  • Great running catch in deep CF
  • Wilson tried for a diving catch. Lindstrom stayed at 1B believing Wilson had made the catch. PO credit uncertain.
  • Infield hit
  • Bad throw to 1B trying for DP; Assist?
  • Grace failed to catch high pop fly
