Notes & reviews

Into RF bleachers
SS Maranville ejected by 3B umpire Stark for arguing that High was out at 2nd and spiking the ball
Umpire Stark halted the game to clear several Boston players who had been heckling him from the bench. Umpire Rigler then warned Braves' coach Evers to watch his language
Wide throw pulled Bottomley off 1B
Douthit beat throw to 2B
Stark again stopped play to clear more Braves from the bench
Douthit: great catch
Douthit: another great catch
