Notes & reviews

  • Reuschel lost his footing, fell, and ball rolled to Sandberg
  • Suicide squeeze play
  • Baker strained his right hamstring on the play and left the game
  • The ball and Cey got to Trillo at the same time--easy tag for Trillo--then a little throw over to first for the DP
  • Hall took three steps in and could not reverse in time to catch up to the windblown ball
