Notes & reviews

It was raining slightly when the Giants took the field. The outfield was slippery and soggy; infield dry but slow.
The rain stopped as Musial batted
Into lower RF stands, 260' away
Off LF scoreboard
Short fly caught LF upper deck on its way down
Diering kept running as RF Marshall threw to SS, not home
This was the first game of a scheduled doubleheader, but the second game was called at 5:15pm due to rain and darkness, with the Cards up 2-0 in the 2nd inning.
