True Story: Ultimate Act of Sportsmanship

ESPN - Central Washington offers the ultimate act of sportsmanship - College Sports True Story. Women's college softball: A Western Oregon player, Sara Tucholsky, who was a senior, part-time starter and very small, hits an unexpected three run homerun in an important game to put her team in the lead. Two runners score but Sara crumples with a knee injury crossing first base and is unable to finish rounding the bases. If any of her teammates aid her in any way she'll be out. That left the team one option: replace her with a pinch runner and have the play ruled a single. Then Mallory Holtman spoke up. Mallory played for Central Washington -- the opposing team -- and asked, "What if we carried her?" The umpire wasn't aware of any rule against that so Mallory and another CW player carried Sara around the bases. Western Oregon wins 4-2. Mallory Holtman -- synonymous with classy.
