Notes & reviews

Far over LF wall
Tried for 2B when Ruth juggled it
Gehringer: spectacular catch near the ground
Between Koenig's legs
Ruth's good throw bounced over Dickey's shoulder
Dickey's throw trapped Heilmann off 1B. Gehrig chased him almost to 2B before throwing to Koenig. Heilmann beat him back to 1B when it was left uncovered. Gehringer scored during the run down.
Gehringer: fine diving stop
Over LF fence
