Notes & reviews

  • Weather: chilly with frigid breezes off the lake; more suitable for football than baseball.
  • Attempted double steal
  • Close play; Grimm hotly protested Magerkurth's decision
  • Double rundown ended when McMillian dropped ball. It started when Terry rounded 3B but was halted by 3B Coach Niehoff and turned back. Jackson was also heading for 3B.
  • Relay to 1B called safe by Ump Magerkurth who had his back to that bag; fans bellowed indignation.
  • Cuyler was hit by his own batted ball
  • Roush dove in vain
  • Welsh claimed a shoestring catch but ruled a trap
  • Smash got away from Beck
  • Through McMillan
  • O'Farrell was trapped but dodged McMillan's tag at 3B. He threw to 2B trying to get Scott but no one covered and it shot out into RCF.
  • Hornsby: fine pickup; fast play
  • Cuyler: shoestring catch
  • Heathcote: shoestring catch
  • Beck: great catch
