Notes & reviews

infield shifted for Ted Williams
Bob Keegan mishandled the ball before throwing to 2B; Jimmy Piersall slid into 2B with his spikes up and he knocked down Chico Carrasquel; the players squared off, both benches cleared and a brawl ensued; Gus Niarhos ran at Carrasquel but was restrained by Sam Mele and 1B umpire Hank Soar; Soar and Niarhos fell to the ground; Niarhos ejected by HP umpire Bill Summers
