Notes & reviews

Past English
DWS: invented play, but matches box score
Wilson protested vigorously at Ump Quigley's decision and hurled his bat angrily as he turned to the dugout.
Close play
Caught the wind-blown fly close to RF stands
Caromed off Benton's glove to Cohen; close play.
Looping fly
Spectacular 1-hand catch of blasting line drive
High bounder
Benton stopped the hot smash with his foot
Smart pickup
Running catch close to grandstand
Into upper LF stand
