Notes & reviews

Frank Thomas knocked the ball out of Dick Hall's glove
Gair Allie rounded 3B too far
invented out, but reasonable
Preston Ward removed himself for pinch-runner as his left foot is still sore from being spiked last week
Braves manager Charlie Grimm argued that Curt Roberts stepped into pitch
