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 Sox and Bob Ojeda, a former Red Sox, going for the Mets.
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.
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 inning.
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 shots on the ball of his clutch 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-
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.
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 on his fielding. "I have to work harder on that. It's a great feeling to go back with a 2-0 lead. 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.
Clemens could not make it through the fifth in-
ning and fell two outs out of short of being cured with a
Steve Crawford bailed Clemens out of a fifth-inning jam and was the winner. Bob Stanley pitched the final three innings for the save.
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
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, waved Gooden off the play. Hernandez appeared to have an easy out at second, but his rushed throw bounce-
The Mets bounced back with two runs in their half of the third.
Santana led off with an infiltrid hit and Gooden bunted for a single. After Len Dykstra sacrificed, Wally Backman skipped to center to score Santana. Hernandez hit a shot off Clemens' glove that Boggies fielded and threw for the out at first as Gooden scored. Bogges saved a run with a diving stop of Carter's smash that he turned into an out at first.
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. Gimmy-legged Bill Buckner slashed a single past Hernandez bringing in Boggs for the third run.
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.
Henderson led off the Red Sox fourth with a homer to make it 4.2. Evans made it 6-2 with two-run homer in the fifth, scoring Jim Rice who opened with a single.
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.
ed in the dirt in front of shortstop Rafael Santana at second base.
The Red Sox added a run off Sid Fernandez in the ninth on singles by Henderson and Owen and Boggs's second球. Owen hurt his leg sliding into third on Boggs's hit. He was replaced by pinch-runner Ed Romero and his status for Game 3 was uncertain.
Sox are peaking at the right time
United Press International
NEW YORK - The Boston Red Sox represent the most dangerous entity in sports — a good team that is hot at the right time.
No facts and figures can explain a team that suddenly does everything right, and not even the most sophisticated strategist can deal with it.
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.
Analysis
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 laughter and won both. Their mistakes aren't hurtting 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 Gold 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-places 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 Fenpark Park."
