Notes & reviews

Pitch-by-pitch courtesy of Phenia Films/NBC/CBC. $A tarpaulin covered the infield right up to the start of the game. The outfield was wet despite use of a helicopter and flame-throwers to dry it out. Stadium lights were on.
Johnson bobbled it
Allison: tremendous diving, backhanded catch
Off Mincher's glove
Killebrew leaned over the railing
Chopped over Killebrew's outstretched glove
Hard hit through Gilliam into LF where Johnson retrieved it in foul territory.
Killebrew was trapped and run down
Davis: fine running catch
