By now, you have probably heard of the college softball game, where the opponents carried an injured runner around the bases after she hit a home run. It has nothing to do with the Red Sox, but it's a great story. The Oregonian has a follow-up story.

Back to the Red Sox. Brandon Moss' wonderful day Friday was followed by a horrible Saturday. Moss underwent an emergency appendectomy at Mass. General Hospital.

Moss is reported to be doing well, but he will be on the DL for around a month.

In the minors, Pawtucket and Portland are losing on the road. Pawtucket's David Pauley was roughed up (4 IP 8 H 7 R 2 BB 1 K) in an 8-5 loss at Syracuse.

Portland lost to Trenton 6-3. The Sea Dogs are now 0-5 on their road trip, and tied with the Thunder for first place.

In Lancaster, catcher Jon Still (.319, 8 homers) went 3-for-5, going deep once.

Mike Jones (.415) keeps on keeping on in Greenville, going 2-for-4 Saturday.

Can you name the 7 players in the Red Sox 2003 draft (Theo's first) that are still in affiliated baseball? See the story.
