Notes & reviews

Greenberg came across field to make tag at 3rd base as Johnson rounded base too far; no RBI given for runner who scored from second
pbp account ends here, rest deduced
One Cub runner reached base on E3 in 7th or 8th; it is put here as the first opportunity
Clear that Mauch for Greenberg AFTER Hank reached third
