Notes & reviews

It started to rain.
Rain came down so heavily that game was delayed 8 minutes.
Rain started falling harder making field very sloppy.
Frisch slid head first 20 feet in the watery mud.
With a count of 2-2 on Hartnett game was delayed 30 minutes. Game called by HP umpire Hart due to rain. Cubs run in 8th inning counts by rule 25 of official playing rules.
