Notes & reviews

Over RF fence
Marshall fumbled
Hit on the right elbow
Grounder bounded high off the pitching rubber to Duncan behind 2B; no throw.
Over LF fence
Knight was hit on the left elbow, charged the mound, and was tackled by Niedenfuer; both benches and bullpens emptied. No ejections, only warnings. Mgr Lasorda argued vehemently with HP Ump.
Niedenfuer first bobbled it, then made a low throw in the dirt to 1B that Sax couldn't scoop.
