Notes & reviews

Bruton dropped the flyball but got the force
First time HR ever cleared LF bleachers at County Stadium
14 minute delay when snow became too heavy during 6th inning; it snowed off and on for the rest of the game. Temperature dipped to 37 degrees.
Spahn: sparkling play while slipping on the wet grass
Skinner dropped PO throw
