Notes & reviews
- Pitch-by-pitch courtesy of Phenia Films/NBC/CBC. Stadium lights were on at the start of the game, but were turned off in the 3rd inning when the sun broke through.
- Valdespino and Mgr Mele argued the decision at 2B
- Mincher's underhand throw eluded Grant; as Wills passed 1B he collided hard with Quilici.
- Grant was late covering 1B
- Davis' hard slide into 2B forced a weak, late throw to 1B by Versalles.
- Infield in; through Quilici's legs into CF
- Deep into LCF seats, over the 380' sign
- Into RF seats, over 370' sign
- Mincher: nice play
- Wills: nice play
- Into RCF seats, just left of 380' sign
- Infield in
- Quilici was late covering 1B causing Worthington to hesitate before hastily throwing low.
- Kennedy: great backhanded stop
- Into LF seats near the foul pole
