Red Sox surrender to Series problems
NEW YORK - The agony continues.
United Press International
The Boston Red Sox, a team whose history is studied with storybook failures, squandered a World Series championship last night for the second time in two games and the fourth time since 1918.
Many times in the last two games they seemed on the verge of escaping tradition. But it was not to be at Shea Stadium.
"We didn't have it," Boston reliever Joe Sambito said after the New York Mets defeated the Red Sox 8-5 in the seventh game of the World Series. If we were going to win, we would be playing it Saturday. It appeared we had it."
In the deciding games of their last four World Series, the Red Sox have frittered away leads. But in this Series they squandered several over the last two games. The last one was a 3-1 lead they took in the second inning Monday night but managed to hold only until the sixth.
Bruce Hurst, who was trying to become the first pitcher since 1968 to win three Series games, grew tired
after getting the first batters out in the sixth. New York scored three runs, then added three more in the seventh and two in the eighth.
"We just didn't have what it took to put them away," Hurst said.
In Game 6 Saturday, Boston was one strike away from the championship in the tenth inning but allowed the Mets rallying for a 6-5 triumph deadlocking the Series at three games apiece.
In 1975, Carlton Fisk's dramatic 12th-inning home run gave the Red Sox Game 6 over the Cincinnati Reds. In Game 7, Boston had a 3-0 lead. But with two out in the top of the ninth, the Reds forged ahead on Joe Morgan's RBI single. Again Boston couldn't record the third out.
Too many missed opportunities also led to Boston's demise in the 1986 World Series. The Red Sox stranded the Boston team on record of the record set by the 1973 Mets.
"We hit (Mets starter Ron) Darling well," Boston first baseman Bill Buckner said. "We should have scored more runs off him.
"We hit the ball better than them, but they just didn't fall. We had the leads and we did not hold them."

Continued from p. 7
Johnson replaced Darling with Fernandez, a left-hander. He walked Boggs then retired Barrett on a fly ball.
After Hurst had retired 11 batters in a row, the Mets broke loose for three runs in the sixth to tie the score.
Lee Mazzilli, batting for Fernandez, singled with one out and moved to second when Mookie Wilson singled to left. Tim Teufel walked to load the bases and Keith Hernandez hit a two-run single to left-center.
Knight led off the seventh with a solo homer to put New York ahead 4-3. Dykstra pinch-hit for Mitchell and singled sharply to right then moved to second on Schiraldi's wild pitch. Rafael Santana singed past first base to score Dykstra and moved to second on a sacrifice by Mazzilli.
Gary Carter hit a short fly to right. Evans dove but could not hold the ball as he tumbled with Teufel scoring on the play. Evans scrambled to his feet and forced Hernandez at second.
called on right-hander Calvin Schiraldi and for the second straight game the relief ace failed. The Mets pushed across three more runs to lead 6-3.
Hurst was removed for a pinchhitter to start the seventh. Boston
The Red Sox fought back with two runs in the eighth with singles by Buckner and Jim Riee and a double by Evans. But Orosco relieved McDowell and retired the next three batters.
New style of Red Sox collapses
NEW YORK — In winning the American League East and then the playoffs, the Boston Red Sox often cited their new style.
No longer, they said, were the Bashers from Boston who won all the runs and lost all the one-run games. The Red Sox could match anyone in baseball subleagues.
That image collapsed in the final two games of the World Series.
especially Monday night when the New York Mets beat the Red Sox 8-5 in the finale.
Not only did the Mets generate more power, but they made key defensive plays, avoided baskerunners, and moved runners in crucial situations.
Analysis
United Press International
Two aspects of the game showed the extent of the difference between the clubs. First, New York Manager Dave Johnson, deciding he could not risk letting the game get out of control, replaced starter Ron Darling with Sid Fernandez in the fourth inning.
Fernadez not only escaped the jam, but he provided two additional flawless innings that gave the Mets an opportunity to erase a 3-0 deficit. None of Boston's relievers performed as efficiently when it counted.
"Sid will probably be the unsung hero," New York first baseman Keith Hernandez said. "He sh 'em down, Once we got (starter Bruce) Hurst out of there, we knew we had them."
The second difference became evident in the Boston eighth. The Red Sox had cut a three-run deficit to 6-5 with none out and a runner on second. The Mets would have found a way to bring the tying run home. But Dwight Evans died there on second. With him, the last hope for a Boston comeback died.
Sox fans must wait till next year

"I know a lot of people said that if the Red Sox lose, they shouldn't come back to Boston," said Scott Tyldesley, a bouncer at a tavern near a darkened Fenway Park. "But they deserve a warm welcome back to town."
The Red Sox, who were within one strike of winning their first World
