BOSTON — A woman hit by a foul ball at Fenway Park during Friday night's Red Sox-New York Yankees game is recovering at home after getting three dozen stitches in her forehead.
Stephanie Wapenski, a Red Sox fan from Massachusetts, was sitting along the third base line with her fiance, a Yankees fan who proposed to her last year at ballpark. They live in Branford, Connecticut.
Wapenski said she was paying attention, but had no time to react when Yankees'
shortstop Didi Gregorius hit the ball in the fifth inning, striking her between the eyes.
"It just came right at me before I could think or react," she told CBS Boston.
