BOSTON (AP) — Bruce Hurst
[extended his mastery of the Mets,
[and the Boston Red Sox took ad
vantage of some New York mise-
jries in the field to move within
[one victory of their first World
[Series title in 68 years, beating the
[Mets 4-2 Thursday night.
The victory enabled the Red
iSox to avert a sweep by the Mets
af the three games in Boston and
igave them a 3-2 lead in the best-
of-seven Series.
Hurst, who pitched eight
[scoreless innings to win the first
game 1-0, shut down the Mets
this time on 10 hits. The Mets
runs came in the eighth when
fim Teufel homered and in the
ninth when Rafael Santana had
gn RBI single.
Hurst turned back another
New York threat in the fifth in
ning with the help of a key strike-
but of Lenny Dykstra, a hero in
tames 3 and 4 whom the Red
Box accused of bat doctoring.
The Mets’ only error of the
fame, by shortstop Santana, led
one run. Dykstra and Darryl
Strawberry collaborated on a mis-
felay that led to another run, and,
Then things went wrong for the
Mets, even the wind played a part
in Boston scoring.
Dave Henderson had a double
and triple for Boston, drove in a
run and scored once.
Pitching on three days’ rest,
Mets ace Dwight Gooden turned
to his offspeed stuff, but his field
ers were so off, it didn’t help
much. He pitched into the fifth
inning and left with none out and
two runs home as the Red Sox
took a 4-0 lead. In two World Se
ries losses, Gooden has an ERA of
8.00. He also was the loser of
Game 2.
Hurst, who allowed only four
hits in the first game, was work
ing on his regular four days’ rest
because of a gamble that Red Sox
Manager John McNamara made
in Game 4, using A1 Nipper to
start.
After losing the first two games
at home, the Mets had won 7-1 in
Game 3, then beat Nipper 6-2 in
Game 4 to even the Series.
But Hurst was fresh, and the
Series now goes to Game 6 Satur
day night in New York with Bos
ton’s 24-game winner Roger
Glemens, working on five days’
rest. Mets left-hander Bob Ojeda,
winner of Game 3, will be pitch
ing with three days off.

When Todd Howard was a
youngster growing up in Bryan he
always dreamed of playing football
for Texas A&M someday.
Now Howard not only plays for
the Aggies’ football team, but he is a
key ingredient in the recipe for the
Southwest Conference’s premier
linebacking crew.
Rice University head coach Jerry
Berndt said he was impressed with
what he’s seen of Howard.
“When I look at him I think, ‘My
Lord! He’s a heck of a ballplayer!’ ”
Berndt said. “Johnny Holland is a le
gitimate All-American and Todd
Howard is every bit as good as he is.”
A humbled Howard said he
wished to thank Berndt for the acco
lades and that he hoped he can
prove Berndt right Saturday when
the 5-1 Aggies host the 2-4 Owls at
Kyle Field at 2 p.m.
The Aggies are 30-point favorites
for this weekend’s clash, but Howard
said if you are going to bet, take Rice
and the 30 points.
“They’re going to give us a good
game and I’ll be happy with just
beating them and the defense doing
well,” he said.
Howard pointed out that Rice
scored more points on the Aggies
than did any other team last year in
A&M’s 43-28 win and that eight of
Rice’s starters are returning.
“We know it’s not going to be a ca
kewalk,” Howard said.
Howard, an All-Southwest Con
ference selection last year, had his
best performance of the season last
week against Baylor when he made
12 tackles, 8 unassisted.
Many felt that the A&M vs. Baylor
matchup would be the one that de
cided the SWG champion, but How
ard said the Aggies won’t have any
problem getting ready to play Rice.
“Coach (Jackie Sherrill) says we
should never be complacent,” How
ard said.
“You’re only as good as your last
game, so against Rice we’ll do what
we do best — fly around and try to
get to the football.”
At 230 pounds, Howard possesses
good size for a linebacker and his 4.5
speed in the 40-yard dash gives him

Howard and the rest of the A&M defense will try
to stop Rice at 2 p.m. Saturday in Kyle Field.
wheels even a running back would
be proud of.
“I’m sure (my speed) does sur
prise people,” he said.
“I’m able to make some plays on
the other side of the field that a lot
of people don’t think I should be
able to make, so speed has come in
handy.”
In Bryan High School, Howard
not only threw the discus and the
shot put, but he ran the 60-yard hur
dles in 7.7 seconds.
Howard, an agricultural educa
tion major, said he definitely has his
goals set on playing professional
football but also wants to get his de
gree from A&M.
Both of Howard’s parents grad
uated from A&M — his mother in
elementary education and his father
in industrial engineering. He has a
sister who is a freshman at A&M.
Howard said since A&M is back in
the Top 10 for the first time since
preseason, it could very well have a
shot at the national title.
“I don’t think any team will go un
defeated,” he said.
“If we just go out every week and
take care of business and win the
conference, a national title would
just be icing on the cake.”
