Notes & reviews

McCormick: backhanded scoop
DiMaggio: running catch near 383' sign
Hildebrand had side pain
Sundra thought Goodman caught it and retreated back to 1B, then slipped trying to change direction.
Just over RF screen
Over the screen into RCF bleachers
Simmons: nice catch in front of temporary seats
DiMaggio missed diving catch
Half swing
Line drive hit Murphy in the stomach
Myers dropped the throw
Myers fumbled
Keller slid across the plate knocking the ball out of Lombardi's glove. When the dazed catcher remained motionless on the ground with the ball behind him, DiMaggio raced home before Lombardi could retrieve it. Great fallaway slide.
Pitches thrown: NYA 134 (Hildebrand 45, Sundra 45, Murphy 44) CIN 126 (Derringer 74, Walters 52)
