Notes & reviews
- Carl Husta's ML debut game; 'local sandlot star...from Johnny Barker's Nazareth team, champs of the Lehigh Valley League.'
- SLS coverage ended here
- Sam Gray was 3B coach
- Off Bagwell's glove; McManus had to hold up to see if caught. Bagwell may've had a shot at him but lobbed to 2B instead of home or relay man.
- Aided by Sisler's high throw to 1B
- Slow roller over 2B
- Over Bagwell
