Notes & reviews

English intentionally let popup drop
Braves Manager Casey Stengel ejected by HP umpire Bill Klem for arguing that the game should not have been allowed to continue under horrible weather conditions (the bottom of the 9th was played during a thunderstorm)
English was safe at third when he outraced Handley to the bag
