Notes & reviews

Debut game for Tommy Hunter
1bman Davis fielded ball near line and tried to tag batter; pitcher Hunter, covering 1st, got between the two and was called for obstruction; play was scored same as catcher's interference
Pitcher Carlson ejected by HP umpire Campos for arguing balls and strikes after he was removed from game
