Notes & reviews

  • Thompson didn't slide
  • Through Irvin to Stanky
  • Over LF wall
  • Ump Stewart hit on foot by Stanky's foul ball
  • umpchange,4,umphome,conlj102
  • umpchange,4,ump1b,gorea901
  • umpchange,4,ump3b,(none)
  • Off LF screen
  • Past Strickland
  • A rain shower began as Kennedy went to the mound
  • To the RCF exit gate
  • Hit & run, high hopper. When Strickland saw 3B unguarded he kept on running; Noble left home to cover 3B. Strickland scrambled to his feet and scored with home plate uncovered when Irvin overthrew 3B and it rolled to the stands.
  • Line drive off the scoreboard and into the Giants bullpen
