New York cuts series to 2-1
BOSTON (AP) — Bob Ojeda
pitched New York tea victory over
his former teammates, and Len
Dykstra ignited the Mets offense
as they averted almost certain
elimination by beating the Boston
Red Sox 7-1 in Game 3 of the
World Series.
Down 2-0 after losing the first
two games at New York 1-0 and
9-3, the Mets scored four runs in
the first inning off Dennis “Oil
Can” Boyd. Dykstra led off the
game with a homer, and the Red
Sox botched a crucial rundown
play as the Mets had their biggest
inning of the Series.
Dykstra had four hits, and
Gary Carter had three RBI with
two hits as the Mets unloaded 13
hits, one more than their total for
the first two games.
The victory sent the Mets into
Game 4 Wednesday night with
Ron Darling, 15-0, their Game 1
loser pitching on three days’ rest
against Al Nipper, 10-12, who has
yet to throw a pitch in postseason.
Darling allowed three hits and
one run over seven innings to lose
Game 1.
Ojeda, who won 18 games after
he was traded to the Mets from
Boston last December, allowed
five hits in the seven innings he
pitched. He allowed only a tnird-
inning run in becoming the first
left-hander to beat Boston at Fen
way Park in a World Series game
since Hippo Vaughn of the Chi
cago Cubs in 1918.
Ojeda, 20-17 lifetime in Fen
way Park, walked three and
struck out six. In the second and
sixth innings, Ojeda got former
batterymate Rich Gedman on
called third strikes for the third
out with a runner at second base.
After the first inning, the emo
tional Boyd got his delicate act
back together, retiring 11 in a
row' at one point, but the bulk of
the damage already had been
done. Boyd, who won 16 games
this season, allowed six runs on
nine hits over seven innings be
fore he was relieved by Joe Sam-
hito.
Sambito gave up a run-scoring
double by Ray Knight in the
eighth.
Only one team, the 1985 Kan
sas City Royals, has ever lost the
first two games at home and won
the Series. No team ever has lost
the first three games and recov
ered.
New York also scored a pair of
runs in the seventh off Boyd on
Carter’s bases-loaded, two-out
single.
T he Mets, who sent nine men
to the plate in the first inning
against Boyd, were aided in their
ef fort w hen the Red Sox botched
a rundown play on Keith Her
nandez between home and third.
Dykstra led off with a homer
down the right-field line on a 1-1
pitch from Boyd, who had given
up three homers in the playoffs,
Wally Backman followed with a
single and went to third on a sin
gle by Hernandez. Carter hit a
double that rolled to the wall in
left-center, scoring Backman and
sending Hernandez to third.
Darryl Strawberry struck out,
and that brought up Knight,
whose bouncer to third started
the bizarre rundown.
Red Sox third baseman Wade
Bdggs fielded Knight’s grounder
and thiew home as Hernandez
broke for the plate. When Her
nandez retreated toward third,
catcher Rich Gedman threw hack
to Boggs.
But Boggs had wandered too
far from third base and had to
turn and throw to shortstop Spike
Owen, who was covering the base.
Hernandez slid in ahead of the
throw to Owen.
Ag volleyballers can’t overlook Owls
By Doug Hall
Sports Writer
As the 18th-ranked Texas A&M
women’s volleyball team enters to
night’s 7:30 p.m. match against Rice
in G. Rollie White Coliseum, head
coach Al Givens is trying to keep his
17-5 team from looking past the
Owls to its other conference
matches.
“Rice is capable of being a very
scrappy team,” Givens said. “We
can’t afford to look past them to any
one else.”
But after last week’s disappointing
loss to Texas, Givens said the team’s
goal is to reach Austin on Nov. 20
with an 8-1 Southwest Conference
record and a chance to tie the Long
horns for the conference title.
First however, the Aggies, 4-1 in
the SWC, must dispose of the 13-11
Owls, a team that Givens said has im
proved greatly since last year’s 0-10
SWC record.
“Rice is only 1-2 in conference,
but they beat Houston and took
Texas to four games and then lost to
Texas Tech,” he said. “They had
some early-season injuries that made
them look worse than they are.”
A key figure in the Aggies’ bid to
wrest the SWC title from the Long
horns is middle blocker Kelli Kellen,
a redshirt freshman from Conroe,
who has played in all but two of the
Aggies’ 81 games this season.
“Kelli improves every time she
hits the court,” Givens said. “She’s
the kind of player you build cham
pionships around.
“Being a redshirt, she has re
sponded really well to the amount of
time she’s seen this year. She kind of
got thrown in to the fire. Every game
she gains consistency.”
The 6-foot-2 Kellen, who leads
the team in solo blocks, also has been
happy with her court time.
“I was surprised at first,” Kellen
said. “I didn’t expect to start right
off with the team we had. But I’ve
been very pleased.”
Kellen said she and former A&M
coach Terry Condon agreed that
with last year’s strength at middle
blocker, it would he better for her to
redshirt last season.
“We already had three strong
middle blockers and it really wasn’t
necessary Tor me tb play,”; she said.

5-1 in SWC play when they take on the Rice Owls
tonight at 7:30 p.m. in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
“I’d hoped to get a lot of work in the
spring, but it didn’t quite work out
(due to Condon’s departure for
UCLA) because we didn’t have a
coach.”
The positive-minded Kellen also
called the Owls a scrappy team, but
said the Aggies should be able to dis
pose of them in three games.
“We hope to get some good statis
tics out of the match,” she said.
