Notes & reviews

Berry would have had a double, but he did not touch first
Moss error did not put a man on, but don't know circumstances
This is a deduced play not in any newspaper story. Need another out on bases, and it would fit here. Deduction is that pitcher Overmire likely would try to sacrifice, so a pick-off was a possibility.
Don't know for sure it was a LDP and hit into by Sievers, not Wood
Leaping catch against LF fence robs Kell of a homer
