Injured fan at Fenway released from hospital

BOSTON -- Tonya Carpenter, the woman seriously injured by a broken bat during last Friday's game between the Red Sox and A's at Fenway Park, was released from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center on Friday, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

Carpenter remains in good condition and has been transferred to a rehabilitation center as she continues her recovery, which required a week-long stay at the hospital. She suffered her injury when Brett Lawrie's splintered bat flew into the stands during the second inning.

Dr. Efstathios Papavassiliou, a Beth Israel neurosurgeon, commented on her status in a statement released on Friday afternoon.
