Notes & reviews

Sonny Jackson's hit a foul-pop that Tommy Dean caught momentarily before dropping when he collided with Ed Spiezio and Jerry Morales; Dean suffered a minor shoulder separation
Dave Campbell got to the ball, but Jose Arcia wasn't covering 2B; Campbell threw to Nate Colbert instead, but Sonny Jackson was called safe on a close call; Colbert thought the third out had been made and didn't recover in time to throw out Bob Didier
