Notes & reviews

Weather: hot
Nice catch
Into RF bleachers
Smashed off Hornsby's leg, caroming into LF; Blades fumbled. Time out was called for Hornsby who lay motionless on the ground for several minutes. He stayed in the game, limping.
Freigau argued Blake did not touch 2B; he was ejected by 1B umpire Pfirman for his persistence
Hit & run
