Notes & reviews

Overflow crowd of 6,000+ encircled the entire outfield
The ball rolled to overflow crowd in front of LF bleachers
McCarthy intentionally dropped bunt pop and threw to 1B. Young's throw to 2B was close; Giants raised a kick.
Off RF screen and into the overflow crowd
Todd had to chase after Rizzo's wild heave
