Notes & reviews
- Heilmann: ran back to bleachers and took it off the screen
- Durocher: whale of a stop
- Missed HR by 10'
- Past SS
- Rice was trapped but made it back to 2B when Lazzeri dropped Robertson's toss.
- To CF scoreboard
- Scratched through middle of diamond
- Gehringer tagged Sherid
- Past Robertson
- The ball hit squarely on top of LF concrete wall and bounded back onto the field.
- Durocher: pretty over-the-shoulder catch
- Combs kicked it around
- NYA argued the close decision at 1B
- Ball caromed off stone wall past flagpole then spurted back across CF toward LCF scoreboard; Ruth scored standing up
