Notes & reviews

Over RCF wall near scoreboard
Off Miljus' glove
Triple steal while Miljus was winding up
Took a long hop over Averill and rolled to the wall
During Cochrane's AB, the umpires called time on account of a heavy downpour. Time was called at 3:50pm; play resumed at 4:25pm. The sun came out and the rest of the game was played under ideal conditions except for softened grounds.
Morgan fumbled
To the scoredboard
Smashed off J.Sewell's glove
Into upper deck in LF
Zinn threw to 2B but Grove was safe
Over RF fence
Off Hale's knees
Over 3B
