The throw was good – and would have gotten the runner out had catcher Max Stassi caught the ball. However it went off his glove, and Moore scored. Error, 4-2 Mariners. France bought to second and Rodriguez to 3rd because the ball skipped to the backstop.
Incorrect. The distress continued from there.
