Notes & reviews

Demaree held 1B
on a check swing on the pitch before Danning homered Cardinals manager Blades argued with both umpires that Danning had swung and missed for strike three
Medwick lay on ground after slide but eventually continued
Pepper Martin PA missing from pbp now we have it (rwood)
Reconstructed last half inning we now have complete pbp (rwood)
