the girls on Central should be highly commended for their sportsmanship. two very big thumbs up from the UPIMONMOUTH, 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** note: because of the rules Sara's teammates could not carry her around the bases but there is nothing in the books about opponents doing it.

How come the girls that played sports when I was a kid didn't look anything like that.Usually they were closer to looking like a Ukranian Yak."Strong like Yak. Smart like bus."
