"IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER"...

September 22, 1986 ... No game scheduled ... The Red Sox are expected to be at full strength tomorrow. Bill Buckner, who missed Sunday's victory because of his chronic ailments, should be back at first base. He has a 13-game hitting streak.

The Sox have won five of its last seven and 17 of 22. The club is 14-5 in September. Calvin Schiraldi has 9 saves in 12 chances. All the saves have come since Aug. 3.
