Notes & reviews

Overflow crowd in the outfield behind a temporary fence made ground-rules necessary.
Into RF overflow crowd
Fletcher was spiked as Murphy slid into 2B
Missed squeeze play; Murphy was trapped and run down
Meyers tried to advance on a short passed ball
On the hit & run, Collins and Barry duped Doyle into believing there would be a play at 2B.
Debut game for Hooks Wiltse
Into RF overflow crowd
