Notes & reviews

Hal Jeffcoat missed HP; Hobie Landrith did not tag Jeffcoat because of Out call by HP umpire Frank Secory as if it was a force play; Secory reversed his ruling to safe after talking with 2B umpire Larry Goetz; Secory then changed to the original decision, calling Jeffcoat out; the Cubs protested but withdrew it after their victory
