Notes & reviews

Kingman got there and dove for it, but the ball fell just below his outstretched glove--Martin backed him up
McBride tried to get back to 3rd but was tagged by Ontiveros
Vail attempted a sliding catch but the ball landed just beyond his glove
Maddox injured sliding into 2nd
Bowa hit only a pop foul down the RF line but the wind blew it fair
Ball landed in the front yard of the third house across Waveband Avenue down N Kenmore Ave
ball bobbled before the toss to shortstop
ball bounced unexpectedly and Kelleher had to leap straight up--he barely kept it in the infield
ball put in play on a checked swing
