Notes & reviews

Off LF screen
Bottomley: fine stop
Maguire: great stop
St. Louis coach Neale ejected by 3B umpire Reardon for arguing Holm was safe at 3rd
Frisch scored when Leggett threw wildly to first trying to complete the DP; Bottomley also scored when Sisler retrieved the ball and threw wildly home.
Past Maguire
Ball was deflected by Jones and fielded by Maguire. Gelbert scored all the way from second; Leggett was spiked on the play and couldn't continue
