Notes & reviews

  • Hit on the back foot
  • Deflected off John's glove
  • The 2-2 foul was dropped by Meacham after Berra lost it in the sun. On the next pitch, Berra again struggled with the sun and dropped it.
  • PO1 attempt by Wynegar after 3rd strike
  • The 2-2 'unknown' pitch was actually ball 3 but HP Umpire Hirschbeck insisted the pitch was ball 2.
  • Jackson hustled down the line and made it a close play when Randolph bobbled the routine grounder.
  • Pettis hurt his right groin muscle while backpedaling and/or bumping into the wall.
  • Pettis limped down to 1B; the ensuing six pickoff attempts didn't help his injury.
  • Meacham stretched it into a double
  • No throw
  • Pettis limped after it
