Match made in Red Sox heaven

Neither Dawn Graham nor Patrick Lowery were looking for a soul mate when they met last year on a dating Web site for Boston Red Sox fans. They just hoped to find a kindred spirit who understood their devotion to their favorite baseball team and perhaps their, um, intense dislike for the Red Sox' main rivals.
Lowery, 41, said he "met" Graham, a graduate of Jonathan Law High in Milford, at MatchingSox.com.
"After Dawn and I e-mailed for awhile and talked on the phone, we made plans to meet for dinner," he said. "But she called me and said she had to cancel because she got ahold of four great seats at Fenway.
"She said I could come if I wanted to, but it was clear that she was going and the dinner was going to have to wait," Lowery said. He fell in love with the Sox in 1975, when the team was in the World Series and forced a seventh game against Cincinnati with Carlton Fisk's iconic home run.
"I was 9, so it's a little fuzzy, but I remember watching Fisk, Rice, Freddy Lynn and Dewey Evans," the northern New Jersey man said. "I even batted in Little League like Dewey," copying Evan's raised-leg stance.
Lowery was a student at Rutgers University, accepting champagne and the congratulations of Mets fans in his dorm when the Sox had their meltdown in the 1986 World Series.
Graham celebrated the 2004 World Series title, the team's first in 86 years, with her father and uncle, both diehard Red Sox fans.
Their Sept. 29 wedding is going to be "traditional, for the most part," Graham said. But there will be Red Sox caps and jerseys at the reception, and the wedding cake top is a team logo.
The playoffs will be on during their honeymoon, "but we've got it covered," Lowery said. "We'll be in Lake Tahoe and there are a lot of sports bars there that will have the game on."
