Notes & reviews

Previous two plays actually one continuous play (attempted double-steal)
McKee hit a short fly between 2bman Turner and RF Smith on the outfield grass. Umpire Evans ruled 'infield fly' as RF Smith called Turner off the ball. Smith muffed the ball and the runners each advanced at their own risk
