Notes & reviews

Long smash sailed over Swanson, struck LF wall on the fly, then rebounded into deep LCF.
Purdy caught short fly off his knees while running fast toward 1B.
Infield single off Sheely's glove
Accidental double when Kelly tried to dodge an inshoot and it hit his bat.
Scratch hit through Ford
Low wild throw
Late throw to 3B
Socked a wicked line drive that almost tore Kolp's glove off as it went whistling into CF.
