browngirlSo, when I got to work, this is the news item I had wanted to write about, because it was an all-too-rare piece of good news. My post is going to be much shorter and less cheery due to being bummed out by the last news item, but otoh that means I need this good news all the more.
During a softball game that would gain the winning team a shot at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference title, Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon University hit a three-run home run, but tore her ACL doing it. Because of the umpires' ruling that a pinch-runner would diminish the gains of her hit, two players from the opposing team (Mallory Holtman & Liz Wallace) carried Ms. Tucholsky around the bases, allowing her home run to fully count, and WOU to win the game.
Now that's sportsmanship.
*cheers them all on*
