Notes & reviews

previous two plays are really one play $Ruth threw wildly trying to pick off Cobb at 2B; Cobb tried to score but was thrown out by center fielder
attempted double-steal (Shean credited with stolen base)
3bman Thomas muffed groundball but retrieved it and tagged out Bush trying to advance to 3rd before Dauss crossed home plate
