Notes & reviews

Smith doubled to RF but forgot to touch 1B
Singled over SS
Pinelli threw 30' wide of 1B; Niehaus threw back just as crazily.
To the clubhouse hatchway
Zitzmann fell back in the bleachers and robbed him of HR
Smith was running on the pitch
Singled behind the infield
Decatur fell and went lame fielding the tap; PDL reported he hurt his pitching arm.
