Notes & reviews

Chilly
Gelbert: great stop
Over LF fence
High bounder
Frisch injured himself sliding into 2B but stayed in the game. Earlier in Bottomley's AB, Frisch had stolen 2B but Bottomley had stepped out of the box as Kemner started to pitch and the umpire sent Frisch back to 1B.
BOUNCE HR into RF pavilion seats
Off Ford's glove
Holm: wonderful diving catch
Gudat's ML debut
