Notes & reviews

Eddie Stanky went to 3B when he knocked the ball away from Peewee Reese
400 ft
Roy Campanella claimed Larry Jansen threw at him twice; the foul on the 2-2 pitch was the 2nd one and it struck his bat, but Campy claimed it hit his finger; Campy and Wes Westrum tangled and were separated by Dodgers manager Chuck Dressen and HP umpire Augie Donatelli
