Notes & reviews
- Into RF terrace
- Kiner crossed up the infield shift
- Into Waveland Ave
- Dubiel backed up Sauer's poor throw home and tried to get Westlake off 1B.
- Murtaugh: good play
- Bad hop GDP ball over Rojek into LCF
- Over LF wall
- Warren Hacker fell down heading to 3B
- Tremendous clout over LCF bleachers
