Notes & reviews
- 1st Sunday home game in Boston Braves history
- Fine stop
- Texas Leaguer
- Off Grimes' shins
- 1-hand stab of hard grounder
- Jumping catch
- Clark slid under Hargreaves' tag
- Smith had Riconda picked off but Sisler made a bad throw during the run down.
- Grounder hit Sisler on the leg; no PO credit.
- Slow roller towards 3B
- Bell's throw to Maranville at 2B was too late
