Notes & reviews

Jerry Kindall's drive hit the face of the clock atop the LF scoreboard, should have been home run; 3B umpire Ed Sudol and 2B umpire Vinnie Smith both lost sight of the ball
failed suicide squueze attempt
Frank Thomas ejected by HP umpire Dusty Boggess; Jerry Kindall foul-tipped strike three and the Cubs thought Hal Smith did not hold onto ball
