Notes & reviews

Eddie Mathews in rundown; Dick Stuart dropped the ball twice and threw wildly as Mathews dove safely back into 1B
great catch in the Pirates bullpen; the Pirates claimed the ball was dropped; throw to 2B appeared to double off Dick Groat, but ruling was he called time and stepped off base
