Notes & reviews

  • Meine came to plate to talk to catcher and was hit in face by practice swing of Schulmerich; Meine remained in game, but left for pinch-hitter next inning
  • Maranville collided with pitcher at 1st and was awarded 2nd base on obstruction; during this plate appearance, Maranville was hit by slow pitch, but umpire ruled he did not try to avoid it and called it a ball
