Notes & reviews

After throwing over several times, Christensen caught Scott off 1B and a short rundown ensued. Initially, it sounded like Hebner was called for interference as Scott ran into him heading back to 1B. Radio broadcast makes no mention of balk, believing interference was called, but Christensen had a balk in the game and there is no other instance where it could have occurred.
