Notes & reviews

Walton first major-league hit
Walton first major-league home run
At this point radio broadcast skips ahead to B12.
Gene Brabender called for obstruction; One-hopper to Donaldson, who threw to 3B and hung Clarke up between 3B and home. Play went 4516, but Brabender was called for obstruction by U Barnett, though SE1 argued that Clarke was out of the base line. Unclear if any assists were credited prior to the error. ej,schuj103,M,barnl901,Obstruction call
Pilots Manager Joe Schultz ejected by 3B umpire Larry Barnett
Harper AB missing from broadcast.
During Comer's AB it was announced that the 12:59am AL curfue was being waived for this game because it was the last meeting of the season between the two clubs.
