Notes & reviews

Perdue replaced Griner with 1-0 count to Compton
Bescher and Rudolph ejected by HP umpire O'Day for fighting. Rudolph used a quick-pitch strategy to strike out 3 of the first 5 Cardinal batters. When Bescher grounded out after taking a quick-pitch strike, he and Rudolph exchanged blows.
