Notes & reviews

  • Over the leaping Kingman
  • Vuckovich stepped over the plate as Blackwell threw to 2B. Scott stole safely but was called out due to batter's interference. $Cardinals manager Boyer ejected by HP umpire Froemming for arguing Vuckovich had not interfered on steal.
  • Over RCF fence to the left of the 386' mark
  • Over LF fence into Cubs bullpen
  • Great play by Biittner and Caudill
