Notes & reviews

Dom DiMaggio stole 3B when Tommy Byrne threw to 1B trying to pick off Johnny Pesky
Coleman: leaping catch
Mapes leaned into LF seats to take HR away
Mapes fumbled
Henrich: running catch. Big collision at home. Berra was slightly spiked, but hung on, and was OK.
Through the shift
Woodling collided slightly with Mapes; heads-up running by Williams.
Deep into lower RF seats
