Notes & reviews

Not sure of scoring events this inning
Heilmann came home standing up; Cochrane took the throw and made a lunging swipe at the runner, hitting him in the head. As Heilmann fell across the plate unconscious, Cochrane dropped the ball. Physicians said Heilmann's injury was not serious.
