Notes & reviews

wind carried it just out of Doran's reach at the last moment
Knepper had only one choice for an out but his throw home was too low and skipped to the backstop
checked swing roller down third base line that hit the bag and bounced into short left field
hit was initially ruled an error on Walling at 3B
accidental swing sent it rolling up the 1B line and Davis kicked it into the dugout trying to make a play
