Sammy Sosa thought his catch was the third out and ran into the infield with the ball after making the catch; Al Martin scored from 2B on Sosa's mental mistake
Wagner left after aggravating a tender hamstring trying to field a bunt by Mike Harkey in the fourth
Pitcher Minor ejected by HP umpire Reliford for throwing at Grace with 1st two pitches; Grace yelled at Minor but stayed at plate as benches cleared; Cubs Scanlan and Pirates Martin ejected by 3B umpire Runge
Pirates manager Leyland ejected by HP umpire Reliford for arguing pitcher should be warned
Lonnie Smith ejected by HP umpire Charlie Reliford for throwing his bat after being called out on strikes; Pirates coach Bill Virdon also ejected by Reliford; Smith refused to leave the bench, holding up the game for several minutes
