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
