Notes & reviews

Slow roller
Byrd fumbled
Scratch single off Heimach's glove
IPHR, hit to the running track in LCF, then rolled to the deepest point in the field.
Manush: great running 1-hand catch
Lazzeri was trapped but got back to 3B safely where Byrd had advanced. Blaeholder tagged both and Byrd was out.
Into RF bleachers
