Notes & reviews

Into LF bleachers
Frisch lost it in the sun
Bell's throw hit Hafey in the back - no error charged Swinging bunt; tough play. Bell scooped it bare-handed.
Smith pulled up lame rounding first (charley horse)
Gelbert beat Sisler's throw home. Wilson tried for third and was safe when Taylor's throw went wild. Wilson tried for home but was thrown out at the plate.
