Notes & reviews

Gordon dashed home when Berger threw to 2B; Frey's throw home was late
Goodman: shoestring catch
Gordon: sliding stop
Crosetti: nice play
Goodman: off his glove as he lunged for it, avoided colliding with Craft, then crashed into the wall close to 407' mark. The ball caromed back towards 2B.
