Notes & reviews

3000 paid; another 1700 were Ladies' Day guests
Attempted double steal
Bigelow fumbled
Goslin muffed it as he started to throw; it was argued he held it long enough to be ruled a catch, but the umps saw it differently.
Gaston: great catch
Through Williams
Goslin tripped and fell on the LF terrace as he was about to catch it.
Missed HR by inches
Scarritt: fine catch
