Notes & reviews

Freak hop over O'Rourke
Manion's wide throw caused Kress to run into Ump Owens. Kress was dazed by the contact, his head striking Owens on the shoulder. After a moment's rest he continued.
Would Melillo have been forced at 2B on errorless play? If not, then the following run was earned.
Combs: nose-dive catch
Swinging bunt
Fine running catch
Into upper LF wing of the lower grand stand
Drag bunt; Koenig stumbled over Gray's feet near the bag and wrenched his back, but resumed after a brief respite.
