Notes & reviews

Into upper LF stands
The pitch caromed off Billy Hitchcock's arm and hit him on the cheek, knocking him unconscious; he was helped from the field.
Into upper LF stands
Lights had been on for 30 minutes as the Tigers came to bat at 7:03pm. Because of a league rule, lights can only be used until 7pm on Sundays so they had to be turned off.
