Notes & reviews

Off Jones' glove
Genewich limped back to the dugout, apparently turning his ankle during the inning. CDT reported he hurt his side.
Into LF bleachers
Low throw
Into RF bleachers
Wide throw to 2B went into LF
Play at the plate started a wrestling bout between O'Neil and Freigau, and nearly turned into a fight.
Looked like it was going foul but caromed off the bag, surprising both Adams and Burrus who got the ball and crawled along the ground to touch 1B.
Off Jones' glove; Pittenger retrieved it and threw to 1B. When 1B umpire Hart called Felix safe, Pittenger threw his glove down in disgust, and was ejected by Hart.
Hit top of LF wall and bounced into Waveland Avenue
Cleared LF flagpole
O'Neil was hit by a foul tip; took some minutes to recover
Into RF bleachers
Wide throw to 3B
