Notes & reviews

Herman: great try but couldn't hold on
Flowers: remarkable stop
Harper: thrilling catch
It appeared Elliott swung at a 3rd strike but Ump Rigler called it a ball. A grand old powwow ensued. Maranville came in from short to argue it out. Taylor hurled down his mask and let the ball go with it. Cullop tried to take advantage but Taylor recovered and flipped to Maranville at home.
Bancroft: robbed Sisler
Bell injured left ankle sliding
Over RF wall
Clark missed shoestring catch
Flowers beat throw to 2B
Bressler: dandy running catch
Bressler: running shoestring catch
Bressler fumbled the slippery ball
Braves: bases loaded, 1 out when game called due to rain. Singles by Maguire and Sisler, plus a walk to Harper, were washed off the books.
