Notes & reviews

on the last pitch to O'Berry, Tracy ran and was thrown out at 2B; the Pirates thought they had a strikeout and a double play; however HP umpire Jerry Crawford called the pitch ball four
Pirates manager Tanner was ejected by HP umpire Crawford for arguing about last pitch to O'Berry; Pirates Milner and Parker were ejected by 1B umpire Harvey from the bench
