MONMOUTH, Ore., April 30 (UPI) -- An injured Western Oregon University softball player got her first home run thanks to members of the opposing team who carried her around the bases.

In a game against Central Washington last weekend, Western right-fielder Sara Tucholsky was running to first base when her right knee gave out, causing her to collapse just moments after hitting her first homer, The (Portland) Oregonian reported Wednesday.

In a move of selflessness, Central first baseman Mallory Holtman and teammate Liz Wallace volunteered to carry the injured opponent around the bases, the newspaper reported.

Western reportedly took the game 4-2, crushing Central's hopes of making it to the NCAA Division II playoffs.

"In the end, it is not about winning and losing so much. She hit it over the fence and was in pain and she deserved a home run ...," Holtman said.

Western was a game ahead of the Wildcats in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference when they met in Ellensburg, Wash., Saturday for a doubleheader.

I can, actually. But then, I'm an idealist at heart.

Guys might be less likely, overall, to do so, but plenty of them would help someone out like that.

this isn't a story about the male counterparts...why can't a nice story just be enjoyed for what it is without something negative being brought up?

Pelosi now in iraq.   hmm,  they said she dont care.....

warfare has changed, but not really.  the American revolution was not in red coat uniforms., it was not an army per say.

well now that we arrived a few centuries of mideast war will surely end and peace will prevail now that we are there....


oh to the OP, good for good sportsmanship!   big smiles!!!
