Notes & reviews

Umpire Paul Pryor worked the afternoon game in San Francisco and then flew to Los Angeles for this game
Debut game for Don Young
foul was a shot past third, barely foul
xunknown strike
xcount correct, pitches completely unknown
xThe count was definitely 2-1 and the strike was xswinging, but the sequence is uncertain
according to Scully, strikeout was on a forkball
Debut game for Byron Browne
xunknown strike
xunknown strike
xsome uncertainty on count and pitch sequence
Excellent one-handed running catch by Beckert
Hendley may have had a play at 2nd. Scully says $he dropped ball and then had to go to 1st
throw in the dirt dug out by Parker
close play, Gilliam playing close for bunt
ball 2 very high & wide - to the backstop
fine play by Santo on high bonucer
slow grounder. Banks tagged sliding Davis
barely carried to outfield grass, rolled foul, $fielded by Banks
Scully says Koufax 'forced' pitch that was ball to Browne
nice play by Banks to save throwing error on high throw
at bullpen gate
