Notes & reviews

McInnis declared out for not re-touching 2nd on his way back to 1st after rounding 2nd base
Bush complained of a sore arm
this play would not be a triple according to present rules
Jackson stunned by impact with wall but remained in game
Vitt declared out for running out of baseline to avoid tag
runner on 2nd escaped rundown and returned safely to 2nd as the batter arrived; both runners were tagged and batter declared out as base belonged to original runner
