Hitting gives Boston 2nd-game win
United Press International
NEW YORK — Dwight Evans and Dave Henderson homered powering an 18-hit attack and turning an expected pitching duel into a Boston tea party last night, giving the Red Sox a 9-3 victory over the New York Mets and a two games to none lead in the World Series.
The Red Sox, who have not won a World Series in 68 years, assaulted five New York pitchers and became only the 11th team in World Series history to win the first two games on the road. Of the 10 previous clubs to do so, only last year's St. Louis Cardinals lost the Series.
After a travel day today, the best-of-seven Series resumes at Fenway Park tomorrow night with Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd pitching for the Red Bob Ojeda, a former Red Sox, going for the Mets.
Last night's game had been billed as a classic matchup between baseball's premier power pitches — New York's Dwight Gooden and Boston's Roger Clemens. But that never materialized as neither pitcher made it into the sixth innings.
Instead it was a classic demonstration of Boston batting tips. Boston's 18 hits were a team record for a World Series game. They fell two short of the record, set by the New York Giants in 1921 and tied by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1946.
The Red Sox rapped Gooden for eight hits and six runs in five innings in tagging him with the loss. Henderson and Evans each hit 400-foot home runs, with Evans's clout coming with a man aboard in the fifth.
Wade Boggs, the major league's batting champion this season who has been fighting a postseason slump, also contributed two run-
scoring doubles, including one in the third that put the Red Sox ahead for good.
"I come out 20 minutes early each day and work on that aspect of my game," Boggs said of his fielding. "I have to work harder on that. It's tough." He led. This team has never given up all year."
Clemens, the major league's top winner this season with a 24-4 record, normally would have prospered from such support. But the hard-throwing right-hander was working on only three days rest for the third consecutive start and did not have control of his fastball.
In addition, Boggs, not known for his fielding,
turned in an excellent game at third base, making
several sparkling plays that helped pull
Boston out of trouble.
Clemens could not make it through the fifth inning and fell two outs short of being credited with the victory.
Steve Crawford bailed Clemens out of a fifth-jam jam and was the winner. Bob Stanley pitched in and drove in the victory.
The Mets, who entered the game batting. 184 in the postseason, managed eight hits but only two over the last four innings.
"We're not embarrassed at all," said Mets catcher Gary Carter. "We came out of our most pressurized series against Houston. I'm very proud of this club."
The Red Sox struck early, taking advantage of an error by first baseman Keith Hernandez
Santana led off with an infiltrid hit and Gooden bunted for a single. After Len Dykstra sacrificed, Wally Backman signed to center to score Santana. Hernandez hit a shot off Clemens' glove that Boggs fielded and threw for the out at first as Gooden scored. Boggs saved a run with a diving stop of Carter's smash that he turned into an out at first.
The Mets bounced back with two runs in their half of the third.
The Mets knocked out Clemens in the fifth and scored another run to increase the score to 6-3. Clemens walked Backman and was removed when Hernandez singled to center. Crawford relieved and surrendered an RBI single to Carter before getting the last two outs.
Boggs lined an 0-2 pitch down the left-field line to double in Owen. Marty Barrett followed with a single to right to score Clemens. Gimpy-legged Buckner slashed a single past Hernandez bringing in Boggs for the third run.
Gooden walked leadoff batter Spike Owen and Clemens bunted to the right of home plate. Hernandez, an eight-time Gold Glove winner who made only five errors all season, waded Gooden off the play. Hernandez appeared to have an easy out at second, but his rushed throw bounced in the dirt in front of shortstop Rafael Santana at second base.
Henderson led off the Red Sox fourth with a homer to make it 4.2. Evans made it 6 with a two-run homer in the fifth, scoring Jim Rice who opened with a single.
The Red Sox chased reliever Rick Aguilera in the seventh and collected five straight singles to turn the game into an 8-3 rout. Singles by Rice, Evans and Rich Gedman loaded the bases and Henderson singled to center to knock in Rice. Owen then singled in Evans.
The Red Sox added a run off Sid Fernandez in the ninth on singles by Henderson and Owen and Boggs's second double. Owen hurt his leg sliding into third on Boggs's hit. He was replaced by pin-runner Ed Romero and his status for Game 3 was uncertain.
Sox are peaking at the right time
NEW YORK — The Boston Red Sox represent the most dangerous entity in sports — a good team that is hot at the right time.
United Press International
No facts and figures can explain a team that suddenly does everything right, and not even the most sophisticated strategist can deal with it.
Analysis
The 1954 New York Giants made every play necessary in upsetting Cleveland, a team that won an American League record 111 games. The 1969 Mets did the same against Baltimore.
With a 9-3 victory last night, the Red Sox lead the Mets 2-0 in the World Series and now have three games in their own ballpark. The Series need not return to New York.
The Red Sox have played a one-run game and a laugher and won both. Their mistakes aren't hurting them, and they are receiving the key performance, whether it be pitching, defense or hitting.
"People are going to find out we have a pretty good ballclub," said Boston Manager John McNamara.
Look at what's happened so far:
Wade Boggs, not a Glove Glove third baseman, has made five above-average defensive plays, including three in one inning.
The Mets have not exploited first baseman Bill Buckner's lack of mobility. In fact, he robbed Dwight Gooden of a hit in the fourth inning.
Red Sox pitchers have retired Keith Hernandez, perhaps New York's most dangerous hitter, in three key situations.
Dave Henderson and Spike Owen, Boston's seventh- and eighth-plACE hitters, have combined for eight hits in two games.
*Boston's middle relief, a weakness during the regular season, showed competence in Game 2. Steve Crawford was the winner and Bob Stanley earned a save.
"I'm more surprised we haven't done better than I am surprised at how well the Red Sox are playing." New York Manager Davey Johnson said. "We've got to get a little intensity going in Park Avenue."

Allen leads Los Angeles to fourth straight win
Monday, October 20,1986 A7
MIAMI — Marcus Allen scored three touchdowns and rushed for 96 yards yesterday, leading the Los Angeles Raiders to their fourth straight victory, a 38-28 triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays.
United Press International
Alen, who carried the ball 21 times, scored twice on 2-yard runs and caught a 16-yard pass from Marc Wilson. The Raiders improved their record to 4-3 on the year and Miami fell to 2.5. Chris Bahr added three field goals for Los Angeles.
CINCINNATI — James Brooks's 21-yard touchdown run with 43 seconds left yesterday lifted the Cincinnati Bengals to a 31-28 victory over the Houston Oilers.
Cincinnati 31, Houston 28
Cincinnati, 5-2 and in first place in the AFC Central division, has won five of its last six games. Houston, 1-6, and in last place in the AFC Central, has lost six straight.
PITTSBURGH — Veteran quarterback Steve Grogan passed for 243 yards and three touchdowns, and the New England defense scored one touchdown and set up two more TDs and a field goal yesterday, leading the Patriots to a 74-64 romp over the Pittsburgh
Brooks' touchdown came after a 93-yard fumble-return touchdown by Houston linebacker Robert Loyer with 126 left that had staked the Oilers to lead.
**PITCH:** Pittsburgh
Tony Franklin kicked field goals of 31 and 36 yards for the Patriots. New England, 4,3- moved to within 1-5 games of the AFC East-leading New York Jets, 5-1, who play Denver tonight.
The defeat, which dropped Pittsburgh to 1-6,
was the Steelers' most lopsided loss at The
Rivers Stadium, eclipsing a 31-7 defeat by Miami in 1984. It also was the second-most lopsided defeat in head coach Chuck Noll's 18-year tenure, behind a 45-3 loss to the Lions at Detroit in 1982. The shutout was the sixth recorded against Pittsburgh under Noll and the second this year.
Buffalo 24. Indianapolis 13
Buffalo 24, Indianapolis 15.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Jim Kelly, playing with a sore right arm, fired two touchdown passes to Andre Reed yesterday, leading the Buffalo Bills to a 24-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Kelly, Buffalo's $8 million quarterback, connected with Reed on scoring strikes of six and 13 yards, helping the Bilsnaps a three-game losing streak. Buffalo's record improved to 2-5. Kelly missed a day of practice last week because of the injury to his passing arm.
Kelly shook off a poor first quarter in which he connected on just two of nine passes for 20 yards, to finish 20 of 31 for 252 yards. His third quarter had the daughter sparked a third quarter scoring drive.
kelly took over later in the quarter, guiding Buffalo 84 yards in three plays and firing a 13-yard scoring strike to Reed with 50 seconds left in the quarter. The drive included Kelly's 57-yard pass to Broughton and an unnecessary roughness penalty on Colts linebacker Duane Bickett, who hit Kiley after the quarterback scrambled out of bounds.
The Colts, 0-7 this season and winless in their last six visits to Rich Stadium, never led in the game. However, the Colts narrowed the score to 17-13 at the six-minute mark of the third quarter with a rookie quarterback Jack Trudeau throw in an 8-yard touchdown pass to rookie Bill Brooks.
Kramer sparks Vikings to upset Bears' record
United Press International
MINNEAPOLIS — Tommy Kramer passed for two touchdowns and ran for another yesterday to spark the Minnesota Vikings to a 23-7 upset of the previously unbeaten Chicago Bears, snapping the defending Bowl champions 12-game winning streak.
The Bears, 6-1, had beaten Minnesota 23-0 two weeks ago at Soldier Field, sacking Kramer seven times and holding the Vikings to 159 yards. Yesterday, the Vikings, 5-2, sacked Steiner Fuller, starting for the injured Jim McMahon, seven times. Chicago quarterbacks had only been sacked six times in the Bears' last six games.

ATLANTA — David Archer threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Sylvester Stamps with 1:33 left in regulation yesterday, enabling the Atlanta Falcons to wind up in a 10-4 overtime tie with the San Francisco 49ers.
The Falcons, trailing since the opening minutes of the first quarter when the 49ers got their touchdown on a one-yard leap by Roy Craig, were inside the San Francisco 12-yard line three times in the closing 17 minutes before finally breaking through when Stamps took Archer's pass at the 49ers, cut back against the grain and tight-roped his way down the sideline.

NEW ORLEANS — Rookie Rueben Mayes ran for 165 yards and two touchdowns yesterday to help New Orleans to a 38-7 victory over Washington in the largest margin of victory in Saints' history.
