Notes & reviews

  • Pretty pickup but threw low; Grantham couldn't scoop it
  • Fine stop
  • Blasted through Johnston
  • Daring baserunning by Traynor on hard hit
  • Over Carey
  • Fearing Cuyler's arm, Stock was held at 3B
  • Cox hurt himself crashing into the wall
  • Bad hop twisted away from Stock
  • Close play at 1B on Moore's DP try
  • 0-2 pitch to Wheat was a fastball on the outside corner that was called a ball by Klem; Gooch protested.
  • Pirates manager McKechnie ejected by HP umpire Klem for complaining about a ball call (which would have been strike three) on Wheat before his triple
  • Just missed HR. With a 3-2 count, Taylor couldn't hold Barnhart's foul tip.
  • Got by Cox and rolled on
  • High bounder over Grimes, perfect throw; Taylor dropped it
  • Texas Leaguer; Traynor started for it then retraced his steps in time to take Barnhart's throw and tag Loftus diving into 3B.
  • Pretty catch
