Notes & reviews

Twilight game started around 5:30 PM
Mullin leaps high against RF screen to rob Williams
Detroit News says Wakefield threw to second instead of plate Boston Globe says Evers juggled ball after it came off wall
Hit and run so throws to second and first were late
Game called due to darkness at 7:54 PM since no lights and Michigan not on daylight savings time.
