Notes :
SS Jamari Baylor made a diving catch on a sinking line drive in the hole to record an out in the third inning.
Threshers Manager Marty Malloy was ejected in the seventh inning for arguing a balk call.
For those wondering - the pitch clock is turned off for major league rehab players by rule so Odubel didn’t have to deal with it.
Also noted that the ABS ( Automated Balls & Strikes System ) is only used fully for two of the six games in each FSL series this season, the other games feature the “challenge” rule where each team gets three challenges of umpire calls per game on balls and strikes where the ABS is used to override if it disagrees with the call on the field.
