BOSTON - A Middleboro teenager got to spend the day with the Boston Red Sox on Saturday thanks to Make-a-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Dominic Driscoll, 14, has congenital heart disease and has undergone three open heart surgeries. His wish was to spend the day with the Red Sox and he and his family headed to Fenway Park Saurday, where they got VIP treatment.

Dominic and his family got a tour of Fenway, went inside the Green Monster and watched batting practice on the field. Dominic also got to throw out the first pitch to none other than David Ortiz.
