Notes & reviews

Debut game for Chuck Cottier
Heavy rain shower hits in the 6th and 7th innings
Juan Pizarro came in to pitch for MLN in top 10th and threw two strikes to Roberto Clemente upon which a one-hour rain delay ensued at 4:03; Game called to be made up in entirety; Pizarro's appearance was struck from the record
