Notes & reviews

Don Hoak's grounder took a bad hop over Felix Mantilla's shoulder into CF; as Dick Stuart rounded 2B he ran into Mantilla; Stuart wrestled Mantilla to the ground and both benches cleared; the Pirates wanted obstruction on Mantilla; fighting broke out again between Mantilla and Pirate coach Sam Narron; no ejections
Bill Bruton injured his foot sliding in the 1st inning
the ball went over the roof of the RF stands; sixth player to do so
