Notes & reviews

  • Meusel fumbled
  • Over RF wall
  • Over Meusel's head
  • To the CF scoreboard
  • Deflected by Miljus
  • Averill's throw went through J.Sewell
  • Late, low throw past Koenig
  • Lazzeri threw to the plate. Dickey ran Fonseca back to 3B. Meanwhile, Gardner had rounded 1B, and Falk was between 2B and 3B. Undecided what to do, Dickey finally threw to Gehrig, whereupon all three runners advanced.
  • Bounced over Lary's head
  • 1-handed pickup
  • Past Meusel
  • Squeeze play
  • Sherid did not tag 1B
  • DWS: fielding credit invented
