Notes & reviews

With 1-0 count to Kasko Colts coach Adair ejected by 1B Ump Landes for asking if Rose could have beaten the throw in the previous inning. When Landes refused to answer Adair said something that got him ejected.
Runnels called out by 1B Ump Landes but call was reversed by HP Ump Donatelli who had a better view of the play and ruled Nuxhall did not catch Johnson's throw cleanly. Reds played remainder of game under protest but withdrew it after winning.
