Notes & reviews

Off the wall
Sensational stop by Hayes.
Tabor doubled high off the wall. The umpires originally ruled this hit a homerun but after an argument by the White Sox, they reversed their call. The Red Sox then took their turn arguing with the umpires.
Great catch by Williams.
Into the screen.
Off the wall.
First pitch.
Bloop hit that landed on the foul line.
Off the wall.
McNair did not run out his hit thinking it was foul. He then argued the call.
