Notes & reviews

Gus Triandos fielded the grounder and stepped on 1B; he threw to Willie Miranda to trap Billy Shantz between 2B and 3B; Jim Finigan started for HP so Miranda threw to Hal Smith who ran Finigan back to 3B where Shantz was also standing; Smith tagged Shantz and, when Finigan stepped off 3B, tagged him too
