Notes & reviews

a fan touched the ball in an upper deck box seat; the ball caromed back onto the field and was ruled fan interference by 3B umpire Augie Donatelli; Giants manager Leo Durocher argued the call and the umpires huddled; the call was reversed by HP umpire Jocko Conlan to a home run; the Phillies argued the reversal; Granny Hamner and Herm Wehmeier ejected by 3B umpire Augie Donatelli
