Notes & reviews

  • Wide throw
  • Lindstrom knocked down the liner; Jackson pounced on the loose ball and threw Padgett out at 1B. NY Times claimed it caromed off the 3B bag, not Jackson.
  • Wilson lost it in the sun
  • Bancroft was trapped but made it back to 3B where Marriott had advanced.
  • Deflected by Genewich
  • Lucky hit when Kelly tried to avoid a pitch
  • Threw high over Kelly
  • Baldwin's final ML appearance
  • Jackson tossed to Frisch who tried to catch Harris rounding 1B but threw over Kelly (again).
  • Low throw
