Notes & reviews

Pitch-by-pitch courtesy of MLB Classic Radio
Mantle hobbled to 1B
Hit on the left foot
Skowron was trapped halfway home; Coleman raced over and tagged him.
Berra just missed shoestring catch
Ford had stepped in a small hole on the mound in the 4th and hurt his right ankle. In the 6th he fouled a pitch off his right big toe. After that he could no longer land on his right foot to follow through without pain.
Hit on the arm
Pinson fumbled it
Lined off O'Toole's right leg into LCF
Chacon: leaping catch
