Notes & reviews

Roush hardly had to move
Slow roller
Fine play
Into upper tier of LF stands
Through SS
Texas Leaguer
Spectacular leaping catch
Fine catch close to boxes back of 1B
Close play
Hornsby tagged Jackson
Root knocked down the smash. During AB, McMillan overran Roush's high foul and it struck him on his forehead. He was dazed and went to one knee but after a brief rest was able to continue.
Leaping catch close to RF wall
Into upper deck of LF stands
High bounder
Heathcote raced to catch looping fly
Hard smash
Into lower tier of LF stands
