Bottom of the 5th Inning
Brett made a couple of "terrific plays" - and the commentators gave him a "great wrap"
(1) Runners at first and second base - none down
----The next batter hit a fly ball down the leftfield line which was "twisting away from Roneberg"
----He made the catch!!!
(2) Runners at first and second base - one down
----The next Blue Jays hitter drove the ball into the left-centre gap
----The commentators called that it would be extra-bases
----But then they said that "Roneberg got over to cut it off"
----A run scored, but the the other runners were held at first and third base
The commentators went on to mention that
----"Roneberg learnt to run very fast over there in Melbourne, Australia"
----"He looks like he's the 'real-deal' out there"
----"Well, we've seen how well he plays defense, and we'll see how he hits later in the game"

An email from Brett

"The 'Big League' game was pretty good
Pedro didn't do too well
(Glenn Williams did hit a home run in the game)
As the guy said, I played good defense
and hit the ball hard to first base - but no hits!"
