Notes & reviews

Line drive hit Elliott on the knee and caromed into the head of 1Bman Sanders, who was knocked unconscious and carried off the field
Pirate manager Frisch tried to use Russell as pinch-runner, but he had already pinch-hit this inning and the umpires refused to allow him as a runner
