Notes & reviews

  • Eckersley got his glove on the ball for a moment, slowed it down, and killed any chance of a GDP
  • Bowa moved to cover second and the ball went through the hole he left
  • Matthews and Dernier reached the ball at the same time but their confusion allowed Virgil to reach home easily
  • Joe Lefebvre injured on play
