INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -
Dwight Hicks, a former Michigan
defensive back who has played in
four NFL Pro Bowls, signed with
the Indianapolis Colts yesterday,
the NFL announced.
Hicks was released by the San
Francisco 49ers last summer after
revealing he had used cocaine over
the past five years. He had a tryout
with the Colts Tuesday.
To make room for Hicks on the

roster, the Colts released wide
receiver Wayne Capers on
Thursday.
General Manager Jim Irsay said
the Colts were impressed with
Hicks' tryout and said the club had
thoroughly investigated his drug
problem.
Hicks, 30, became involved in a
contract dispute with the 49ers
before he was released.

Red Sox 4,

Mets I

From Staff Reports
The Boston Red Sox took a
three game to two lead in the 1986
World Series last night by defeating
the New York Mets 4-2 in front of
a sell-out crowd in Boston's
Fenway Park.
Bruce Hurst scattered ten hits in
going all the way to record his

second World Series win. The Red
Sox now travel to Shea Stadium
for the sixth game on Saturday
night.
The Mets brought the tying run
to the plate in the form of Len
Dykstra, but Dykstra was called out
on a swinging strike three. The
Mets scored a run on a double by
Mookie Wilson and a single by
Rafael Santana.
The Red Sox opened the scoring

in the bottom of the second when
Spike Owen delivered a sacrifice fly
that scored Dave Henderson who
tripled. Henderson reached third
when his drive to right center got
past Met right fielder Darryl
Strawberry.
In the next inning, Boston
increased their lead to 2-0 when Bill
Buckner limped home from second
on Dwight Evans' single to center.
The run was unearned, however,


because Buckner had reached base
on an error by Met shortstop
Santana.
Met starter Dwight Gooden, the
losing pitcher in game two, was
knocked out of the game in the fifth
when the Red Sox padded their lead
to 4-0. Jim Rice began the rally
with a near home run that went as a
triple to right field. DH Don Baylor
followed with an RBI single to
right. After Dwight Evans singled
Gooden was pulled in favor of S4
Fernandez, who surrendered a ru=
scoring double to Dave Henderson.
Hurst, the winner of the first
game of the series, didn't allow q
run until Tim Teufel's solo blast jr
the top of the eighth.
