Notes & reviews

Off the wall.
Great stop by Lodigiani.
Off the wall.
Tipton was injured sliding into home.
Nagel and Lodigiani collided chasing Vosmik's pop fly.
The game was halted for ten ninutes so the ground crew could hose down the dusty infield.
Off the wall.
Moses came up lame running to first.
Into the screen.
