Notes & reviews

Weather: fans were shivering
Both runners started to run on a short PB. Bartell scooted back to 3B when Schulte made a quick recovery, but Hemsley was run down. Bartell then scored before English could peg to the plate in time.
Over L.Waner to the flagpole
Hornsby was trapped and run down
Hit & run; Sheely tagged Beck
Into RF stands
Deflected off Beck's shins
Linton's ML debut
