Notes & reviews

NYTimes=2000
Through SS
ML debut for Willis
Through SS
Bounder caromed off Dykes' knee toward the pavilion
Past Bishop
Past 2B
Into RF bleachers
Terrific drive into LF stands
Nice catch
Paschal pulled up lame at 2B
Close play at home; splendid throw by Lamar but Perkins missed a stab at Durocher.
PDL: Combs rounded 3B; when he drew a throw from Holt to Dykes he took off for home, just making it after a big burst of speed and fancy slide.
