Sportsmanship Carries the Day and an Opponent Home
The sports world has been filled with steroids, dog fighting, gambling, and other scandals over the past year.
It's refreshing to learn of and write about the women's college softball game in Washington State. Hard luck senior, Sara Tucholsky, never hit a home run in her career. When Sara finally hit her home run, she collapsed before reaching second base from an injured leg. Her teammates could NOT help her as she would be called out and credited with a single.
After a few tense moments, her opponents, Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace, carried her around each base, she touched it with her leg, and then they carried her home. Sara was greeted by emotional teammates at home plate.
Sportsmanship carried the day. Good job ladies!
