Notes & reviews

the fifth pitch to Carl Furillo was ruled a caught foul tip for strike 3 by HP umpire Bill Stewart but the Dodgers argued the call; 1B umpire Lee Ballanfant ruled the ball had stuck in the catcher's pad for a foul ball
Dixie Howell called for interference for running into his own bunt
ball four rolled to the backstop
