Notes & reviews

Walker: running over-the-shoulder catch at the wall
On a pitch in the dirt Sturm broke from first base but Rizzuto stayed at second; when Owen threw to first Sturm continued to second and Rizzuto then broke for third; Camilli threw to Riggs who threw to Reese who tagged Rizzuto.
Hit on the hip
Over RCF scoreboard
Mgr Durocher argued it was a foul ball
Reese: great play
Swinging strike three got by Owen
