Notes & reviews

Hit the top of RF wall
Williams was run down
Texas Leaguer over Sand
Bounced high over Wrightstone who chased it towards the wall then threw to 3B instead of relaying to Sand in short LCF.
Grounder narrowly missed Adams, distracting Friberg.
Took 3B on Sand's relay home
Through Sand
'Maranville tried to play CF but could not do so'
Wonderful stop prevented a run
Game called because of heavy rain; after the top of the 7th inning (in which the Cubs scored a run on Tommy Griffith's homer) a downpour started; the game was called after a thirty minute wait. Lost 7th inning events: freih101=3/FL grift102=HR/F9D over RF wall grigd101=K grimc101=7/FL
