Notes & reviews

  • Over second
  • RHP Russell started the game as a decoy. Manager Cronin now brought in Lefty Grove.
  • Foxx made a spectacular catch and threw to second to double Lewis.
  • Stone made a nice running catch.
  • Kroner's throw sailed over Foxx's head.
  • Terrific stop by Melillo.
  • High bounder. Grove came over to cover first and spiked Kuhel accidentally.
  • Bloop hit.
  • Over Melillo's head.
  • High bounder.
  • Werber faked a throw to first and caught Lewis rounding third.
