Notes & reviews

DIFF: O'Connell's official records do not reflect this
DIFF: Long's official records do not reflect this
30 minute rain delay
Willie Tasby refused to take the field due to continuing lightning
31 minute rain delay
Senators manager Mickey Vernon moved Marty Keough to play alongside pitcher Dave Sisler in front of Dale Long; this was a dare to Hank Aguirre, an extremely bad hitter, to swing away
