Notes & reviews

Weather: cold
Ruel stood as if no play would be made at the plate, then tagged the surprised Menosky who didn't slide.
Pipp: great catch of wide throw
Lewis: great catch
Tremendous drive through the opening at the far end of the lower RF stands and landed in the bleachers.
Bounced off the top of the LF bleacher rail, struck a fan, and bounded back. HP umpire Dinneen ruled it a double while Yankees argued it should have been a HR
Pipp: barehanded stop; slid into the bag ahead of Hooper
