Notes & reviews

1B umpire Tom Dunn called Dom Dallessandro out at 2B; Cubs manager Jim Wilson claimed that Peewee Reese dropped the ball; Dunn had ruled that the drop was during the transfer of the ball to Reese's throwing hand; Dunn huddled with 3B umpire Bill Stewart and then reversed the ruling to safe; Whit Wyatt and Dodgers Manager Leo Durocher ejected by Stewart
