...effective in limiting undefeated Hollis to six hits. But poor support ruined him in the final frame. The Weld first baseman dropped an easy pop fly, putting a runner on base with one out. After a single on which the runner was thrown out trying for third, the batter moved to second and scored the winning run when the next man also singled...
...higher cinematic batting average is the movie's climax: Dizzy triumphing over objections by teachers' organizations to his barefoot-boy grammar on the airwaves. Dan Dailey makes a likable Huck Finn in spikes, complete with such Dean-Arkansas accents as "slud into third base" and "the batter takes a stanch at the plate."

He threw a total of 70 pitches, an average of less than three per batter, and allowed only four bases to be hit beyond the infield...
