Notes & reviews
- straightway to center, barely cleared the fence
- Thon caught but immediately dropped the ball as he avoided a collision with Puhl
- Milner went a third of the way home and returned to third when Cedeno's throw came in quickly
- ball hit off base of Howe's glove for a bobble
- Madlock took out Thon, whose throw short-hopped to Leonard at first, preventing the double play
- Ball cut Madlock's lip
- Smith could not get the ball out of his glove cleanly and was late with the throw to the plate
