Notes & reviews

Weather: cloudy and intermittent drizzle
Past 2B
Running catch; terrific drive nearly to the bleachers
Ferrell deflected the smash
Melillo fell while fielding the ball
To the bleachers
CPD: 'Porter smashed to Blaeholder.' Assume line drive but could be a hard grounder, 13/G.
Knocked down the smash
Ferrell retired the last 16 batters CPD: 'Not more than half a dozen times during the game did Ferrell fail to get the first strike across on the batter. Mostly it was a curve ball, and placed where they couldn't hit it.'
