Notes & reviews

Duncan charged in and bobbled it; late throw
Scioscia was tagged out scrambling back to 1B
Over LCF fence
Strawberry: tumbling catch
Cabell took Duncan's wide throw off the bag and tagged Hearn
Halfway up LCF bleachers
Williams: running catch
High chopper; no throw
Hit on the back
Pitch nearly hit Cabell on hit & run but it was ruled a swinging strike on the appeal to 1B Ump Pulli. Cabell slammed his bat down. Mgr Lasorda came out to argue with Pulli.
No throw. As Cabell crossed 1B, he said something to Ump Pulli and was immediately ejected. ej,cabee001,P,pullf901,Checked swing
After the 2nd pitch Niedenfuer fell and grabbed the back of his right leg. He was helped off the field.
