Notes & reviews

• 21 minute rain delay with 2-2 count on Mickey McDermott
• Ray Murray dropped the wet ball, allowing Mickey McDermott to score
• Red Sox manager Boudreau thought the game was about to be called due to rain, so he brought in Al Benton to close
• Eddie Joost and Athletics Manager Jimmy Dykes ejected by 2B umpire Hank Soar arguing that Johnny Lipon had stood in the baseline between 2B and 3B and obstructed Joost
• now raining extremely hard; Red Sox manager Lou Boudreau had been going out every half inning to plead with HP umpire Bill McGowan to call the game; Boudreau made two trips this time, and McGowan ordered the ground crew to spread sand on the mound and batter's boxes
• the ball hit Dick Gernert's bat as he was ducking an inside pitch
• as Cass Michaels' double was clearing the bases, Sammy White had words with HP umpire Bill McGowan about his failure to call the game despite the horrible field conditions; McGowan ejected White; as White and McGowan argued, Billy Hitchcock was smiling as he came up to HP; White thought Hitchcock was laughing at him, and White took a swing at him; Hitchcock punched White, which led to a bench-clearing brawl Hitchcock ejected by McGowan
• this was originally scheduled as a doubleheader, but the umpires called off the second game when they judged the field to be unplayable
