Notes & reviews

Molitor hit a sinking liner to LF; Kemp appeared to catch it but 3B umpire Deegan signaled no catch; neither Gantner nor Molitor saw the signal at first; Molitor started back to dugout, thinking he was out; Ganter started to 2B, went back to 1B then finally to 2B Brewers Manager George Bamberger argued but was not ejected
Brewers Money and manager Bamberger ejected by 1B umpire Neudecker for arguing Whitaker was out at 3rd; ejections by 1B umpire who was crew chief after long discussion among the umpires
