Notes & reviews

Pitch-by-pitch courtesy of Phenia Films/NBC/CBC
Wills: good play
Lined off Kaat's glove; he recovered but threw late to 2B
Versalles literally straddled 2B before each pitch during this at-bat; he made a great stab of Kaat's wide pickoff throw.
Davis: great jump, no throw
Davis initially lost it in the sun, then missed diving a catch
Off Nossek's glove on the short hop allowing Wills to advance
Allison: good running catch
Wills: good stop and backhanded flip to Tracewski whose leaping throw to 1B was low but scooped by Parker.
No throw
