Notes & reviews

There was a scramble in the infield as both Loftus and Stock were close to 2B, but they reached their bases safely.
Smith fumbled
Stock beat Hornsby's throw home
Taylor was hit on instep by a Hornsby foul tip
Dickerman deflected it (but source 354 did not so indicate)
Dickerman jumped high for the bounder
Wonderful diving catch
3 straight walks on 13 pitches
Stock dodged the inside pitch but it hit his bat; he was retired at 1B while sitting on the ground.
NYEW coverage ended here
Fine running catch
Unconscious stop
Great sprinting by Douthhit
Into RF seats
Too hot for Mitchell
