Notes & reviews

  • Kingman injured himself swinging and Mejias replaced him in mid-count
  • Kevin Saucier hit Mike Krukow in retaliation for Krukow hitting Garry Maddox in the previous inning; Krukow went to 1B and started yelling at Saucier; both benches cleared and a brawl started; Krukow and Saucier ejected by HP umpire Satch Davidson
