Notes & reviews

Hebner fielded it in time to get Wynne but Reuschel failed to cover first base
Rafael Belliard broke his left leg on play
Cey lined the ball off Tunnell's shoe; Tunnell bobbled it a few times before dropping it, allowing Cey to reach safely
Tunnell took the grounder easily and caught Matthews in a baserunning mental mistake
Throw from RF Frobel hit Moreland in the back of the head as he slid into third
Ball took bad hop and bounced over Bowa's glove; no error
Lacy swung away--ball bounced right in front of the plate to the left side and died
1b Benny Distefano played about 20 feet from the plate (zone 13) as directed by manager Tanner
RF Doug Frobel played infield between 1B and 2B
Lacy played between 3B and SS; seven players in the infield including P and C per Tanner
