Red Sox fan assaulted in New York
By John C. Drake, Globe Staff
A 25-year-old carpenter from Quincy is in serious condition after he was assaulted outside a Yonkers, N.Y. hotel last night by a group of men he said had earlier asked about his allegiance to the Red Sox.Two men were arrested in the assault, authorities said.Carlos Ortez was watching the Red Sox-Angels playoff game in the lounge of a Ramada Inn with other workers for Holden-based Woodmeister Master Builders, who were in town working on a construction project at a Manhattan hotel.Ortez was sitting at the bar with co-worker Walter Ostromecki, 30, of North Brookfield, who was wearing a Red Sox hat and T-shirt, when another patron at the end of the bar asked the two men whether they had pride in Boston, said Lieutenant Philip Collins of the Yonkers Police.Immediately after the 4-0 Red Sox win, the two men left the hotel, when they were approached from behind by the man who'd made the earlier comment, along with two other men.Ortez and Ostromecki walked in opposite directions, but then Ostromecki looked back and saw Ortez was being attacked. As Ostromecki approached them, the assailants ran toward a parking lot.Ortez was lying in a pool of blood and his face was swollen. He's in intensive care with multiple facial fractures at Westchester Medical Center, said Chris Komenda, of Woodmeister Master Builders.Duane Somers, 32, of Huntingdon, Pa., and Edward McConaughey, 42, of Orbisonia, Pa., were arrested and charged with second-degree felony assault, said Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for the Westchester District Attorney's office.They were arraigned this morning, and their bail was set at $10,000 apiece, Chalfen said. He could not say whether they had made bail. A Westchester County Jail employee said the men were not listed as inmates. They are set to appear in court again Wednesday, Chalfen said.Komenda said two executives from the firm are at the hospital with Ortez, and that the other four employees have been moved to a different hotel.Authorities said Somers and McConaughey also were carpenters in town for a construction job.

No different except the severity, from anywhere USA, when
guys want to drink and get into a
mouth match with others with the same thing on their minds.It's too
bad that guy got beat so bad. Two on four never split up.I called a
cop friend of mine in NY and she
said those two guys should never
even talked to the others,but they just wanted a couple of drinks and
the others had quite a head start
on them and it got nasty in the bar
till the owner told them to take it outside.It was 4 against 2 and
the two guys did something you never do if you're outnumbered they
split up,bad news. A lot of tough
birds from PA and mean. Sports talk
and booze are a bad mix second only
to domestic violence which is
preceded by sports and booze in
Southie your mom will deck you over
some dumb crack.
