...that point, Harvard trailed, 4-1, but with the possibility of Penn's ace going in the hole. Damon quelled those doubts momentarily as he retired the next two batters. He was pulled for Smith, a lanky freshman who was throwing over his catcher's head in the bullpen...
Boston (78-54, AL East, fifth): Lee Smith (36 saves) could be the savior of the once non-existent Boston bullpen. The Sox have strong starters in Roger Clemens, Oil Can Boyd and Bruce Hurst. Also, new faces such as Mike Greenwell (.328, 19 HR, 89 RBI), Ellis Burks (20 HR) and Sam Horn (14 HR in 46 games) can turn Fenway into a funhouse this summer. Best player: Wade Boggs...

McGrady, who had a 3-2 record a year ago comingout of the bullpen, will be counted on to put outa few fires this year as well. To throw off thehitters, McGrady is experimenting with his windupand delivery...
