Off Warstler's glove
Handley: diving stop
Into upper deck of RF extension
Young: miraculous diving stop
Caromed off Fletcher's glove, but Turner picked it up and slid into 1B ahead of L.Waner.
Handley: great stop; when Suhr dropped his lightning throw, English turned toward 2B, but Suhr recovered in time to tag English who was spiked on the play.
Suhr knocked it down with a backhanded stab
Over LF scoreboard
Handley: great 1-handed diving stop and throw
