By DREW SHARP
Special toThe Daily
DETROIT - To the crowd of 50,749,
the fourth comeback of Mark Fidrych
was a joyous one, although not a com-
plete success. Fidrych pitched eight
strong innings but absorbed the loss, as
the Tigers fell to the Boston Red Sox, 5-
4.
The eyes of the baseball world were
upon the young pitcher who in 1976 daz-
zled them all, and the "Bird" did not let
them down.
The crowd roared every time Fidrych
made a move, and he gave the fans
quite a show, although he seemed a lit-
tle rocky at first. He walked the leadoff
batter, shortstop Rick Burleson, and
with one out, centerfielder Fred Lynn
doubled him home on a line drive to left
field. Carlton Fisk then got a cheap
single off of Fidrych's leg, which scored
Lynn for the Red Sox' second run of the
inning.
Things got worse for Fidrych in the
second when shortstop Mark Wagner
bobbled an easy groundball by Boston's
Butch Hobson for the game's only
error. Third baseman Glenn Hoffman
followed with a double to put runners on
second and third. The next batter,
Burleson, hit a hard grounder to first
which Tiger Richie Hebner stopped
from going into right field. Hebner held
the runner to third, and it looked as
though "The Bird" would get out of the
inning unscathed. But Dave Stapleton
stepped up to the plate and singled in
the two runs, both of which were unear-
ned.
Fidrych then settled down and pit-
ched 5Y3 scoreless innings, striking
three Red Sox in the process.
While Fidrych was having a difficult
time, Red Sox starter Mike Torrez was
tossing no-hit ball through three in-
nings. That string ended when Champ
Summers hit a solo upper-deck shot to
give the Bengals their first score. The
Tigers put together their first rally in
the fifth inning when Wagner singled,
Rick Peters walked, and Lou Whitaker
brought them both home with a double
to right field.
The Tigers tied the score in the seven-
th inning when Tom Brookens walked,
advanced to third on Wagner's hit-and-
run single, and scored on Peters'
sacrifice fly to center field.
When the eighth inning started, Tiger
stadium rocked with the chants of "Go,
Bird, go! Go, Bird, go!" But those
screams were put to rest when right
fielder Jim Dwyer ripped a 2-1 Fidrych
pitch into the right field seats to give
Boston the lead once again.
In the bottom half of the eighth, Heb-
ner led off with a single, but was left
stranded on the base paths to silence a
Tiger threat once again.
Reliever Aureliy Lopez took over for
Fidrych in the ninth inning, much to the
displeasure of the crowd, Fidrych's
crowd once again.
