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
