Disputed Play -- Leftfielder Bob Bailey of the Pittsburgh Pirates leaps for drive hit by Frank Bolling of the Milwaukee Braves in ninth inning of Saturday's game in Milwaukee. At the same time, a young fan with a fielder's glove reaches for the ball, which is obscured in the gloves. Umpires ruled that the fan touched the ball after it bounced off Bailey's glove and awarded Bolling a double. The play set up the wining run in the Braves' 6-5 victory.
