Notes & reviews
- Flags were at half mast on account of Miller Huggins' death
- To deep 2B
- Off Holloway's glove
- Wild toss to Tavener at 2B
- When Metzler fumbled, Hodapp tried for 2B but was trapped. In the run down, J.Sewell was out trying to score.
- Low throw
- Against RF screen
- Through Cissell
- Bare-handed pickup in RF
- Great pickup back of 2B
- Metzler threw into Cleveland dugout trying to catch Tavener off 2B. During this AB, one of Fonseca's drives landed on RF foul line but Ump Geisel called it a foul. UR? Assume Fonseca would've scored from 2B on J.Sewell's S8?
- Averill fumbled
- Over Averill's head
- Might be 2/FL
- Texas Leaguer back of 3B
- Over RF wall Mel Harder's 1st career win
