Notes & reviews

previous two plays actually one continuous play $McInnis intentionally made an out on the bases in an attempt to speed up the game as rainstorm approached
catchers Schang and Severeid ejected by HP umpire Connolly for fighting when Red Sox made intentional out once more to speed up game as rainstorm approached
Game called for rain with two outs in top of 6th (St. Louis had scored 1 run); game reverted to end of 5th
