Notes & reviews

Terrible field conditions from a previous football game
Holmes: leaping 1-handed catch
Sisti: great backhanded stop and throw
Lohrke: superb backhand stop of a bad bounder
Into the Giants' bullpen
Sisti mishandled Heath's return
High hopper back of 2B. Close play; argument ensued.
Neat push-bunt through the vacated SS spot
Kerr: great 1-handed grab
Masi tried to score on a high wild pitch
Caught about 15' in foul territory; great tag by Sisti
Lined off Jones' elbow
Gordon lunged at it, knocked it down with his bare hand, stepped on 3B, then threw home.
