Notes & reviews

  • Total attendance: 6613 $Rain delayed the start for 50 minutes and fell through most of this first game of a scheduled doubleheader. It continued during the intermission and there was a steady downpour at the start of the second game. After Detroit was held scoreless in the first inning, the game was called off.
  • Mancuso: nice catch near the screen; heads-up play by Cullenbine.
  • Cramer: great 1-handed catch
  • Gutteridge fielded bunt when McQuinn fell and just beat York to the bag where they collided; Greenberg rounded third and started for home, but Gutteridge bounced up and threw out Greenberg trying to return to third; No sacrifice was awarded although Greenberg had reached 3rd safely
  • Off the screen in deep RCF
  • High into LF bleachers, just inside the foul line
