Notes & reviews

Hartnett injured when Mazzera's follow-through of his swing on strike 3 hit Hartnett on side of head
Galan broke knee cap running into cement wall chasing foul ball hit by Schulte
Mazzera's bunt rolled past 3bman and Rizzo advanced to 3rd when nobody covered 3rd. Catcher Todd belatedly tried to cover 3rd but Rizzo then ran home when nobody covered home
