Notes & reviews

Hector Lopez appeared to have foul-tipped a two-strike pitch but Sammy White was unable to hold onto the ball; Lopez called for interference with White
Jimmy Piersall's fly ball caromed off the CF wall near the flagpole into the bleachers; this was a home run according to the ground rules
