Notes & reviews

Gene Conley was attempting to walk Joe Adcock intentionally but Adcock reached across HP and hit a grounder to 2B on the first pitch; Sparky Anderson was playing behind Conley to prevent a return throw from the catcher getting past Conley; Anderson had to move over to field the ball and his throw to HP was too late to get Henry Aaron
