Notes & reviews

pbp account ends here, rest deduced
Moon hit a routine groundball to second baseman Roberts who threw wildly to home where Hemus was trying to score. Catcher Shepard retrieved the ball and threw wildly to second where Moon was headed. Center fielder Thomas ran in to field the overthrow but in his haste overran the ball allowing Moon to come all the way around to score. Three errors on three different players on one play.
