Notes & reviews

Debut game for Greg Harris
HP umpire Ed Montague ruled that Joel Youngblood's grounder was a fair ball; Giants manager Frank Robinson argued with Montague but the call stood; there was no umpire on the 3B line because of the three-man crew
Darrell Evans ejected by HP umpire Ed Montague arguing the call on Joel Youngblood's grounder down the 3B line
