Notes & reviews

Mantle: running shoestring catch
Line drive caromed off Latman's side
Into lower RF stands, about 10' fair
3rd pitch: long drive narrowly missed RF foul pole
Hit on the hand
Check swing; Skowron tagged Locke
Held: over-the-shoulder catch
Two fans charged onto the field and attacked Piersall who punched one and kicked the other before his teammates arrived. Police arrested both fans.
Piersall: leaping catch robbed Blanchard of HR
