Notes & reviews

Ken Boswell caught the popup and threw toward HP while Ken Henderson was retreating to 3B; the throw hit 1B coach Wes Westrum; Donn Clendenon retrieved the ball to throw out Henderson who crashed into Jerry Grote
Big shift for Willie McCovey who sliced double down LF line; Jerry Grote waited casually at HP, pretending no throw was coming, then lunged at last moment to tag Bob Burda; Grote rolled the ball to the mound, thinking there were 3 outs; Donn Clendenon retrieved the ball
