Notes & reviews
- 'Before the game Cliff Heathcote was presented with a specially made ukulele. Hack Wilson was presented with a large frosted cake by some young lady dressed in red, white, and blue.'
- Taylor let Heathcote's throw get past him
- When Kelly tried for 2B and drew a throw, Walker tried to score.
- Slow roller
- Ripped a single off Dressen's glove
- Broken bat single
- Attempted double steal
- Close to the fence
- Into RF bleachers
- To the box seats
- Close play
- Great stop by Pittenger
- Against LF bleachers
- Past McMillan
- Baseball-Reference.com writes, 'In the eighth inning of a 5-5 game at Wrigley Field, Cubs 3B Norm McMillan hits a line drive down the LF line with the bases loaded. Reds LF Evar Swanson, shaded toward center, can't find the ball, which he sees bounce off a gutter in foul territory. McMillan circles the bases and four runs score. Later, Cubs relief P Ken Penner picks up his jacket in the bullpen and discovers the ball in his right sleeve.'
- Off Ford's glove
