Notes & reviews

Ladies' Day
Into LF bleachers
Bressler fumbled
Herman fumbled
Great stop
Over RF fence
Into CF bleachers
Holloway's ML debut
Following events gleaned from Phi Inquirer:
Into Broad Street
Off Ballou's glove
Smashed off Gilbert's glove and trickled into short LF where Bancroft retrieved it, catching Whitney overrunning 3B.
