Notes & reviews

Snow fell before and throughout the game; flurries were most intense in the first inning when time was called for six minutes.
Bruton: fine running catch
Rice stopped midway to 2B and was tagged after run scored
Off RF screen
Atop RF pavilion
Rice stopped midway to 2B; Dittmer ran him back toward 1B before flipping to Adcock to get Staley; the run scored before Adcock could tag Rice.
Atop RF pavilion
Wind-blown pop that Hemus misjudged
Through Johnson
