Notes & reviews

the ball bounced off the plate and apparently hit Ellis Valentine's arm; it then trickled into fair territory near the 3B line; both runners froze thinking it was a foul ball but it was ruled fair; Valentine, Mets manager George Bamberger and coach Frank Howard all argued to no avail
discrepancy with official totals: Kingman's run should be charged to Minton not Holland
Discrepancy with official totals they have Holland 2R 0ER and Minton 1R 1ER see top 8
