Notes & reviews

High throw
Runner was out by a wide margin
Off RF screen
Through Melillo
Williams crashed into the wall after the catch; he had cuts on his head, hand, and elbow. Manush scored from second.
Off RCF screen
O'Rourke: fast play
Blue took a big lead off first to draw a throw and then avoided the tag until Melillo could score.
