I actually welled up here in the office when I watched this video of the incredible display of sportsmanship that went down when Western Oregon’s Senior softballer Sara Tucholsky hit her first career homerun in a conference championship game, only to blow out her knee as she rounded first base. “You hit the ball over the fence — you deserve it.” Awesome story, man. Awesome. via Kottke.

Great find. I enjoyed the video, however, it is hard to believe that two opponents from the other team can carry hear around but nobody from her own team can touch her.

Incredible stuff…you don’t see that everyday.
Nick: If that’s in the rulebook, which they say it is, then that makes sense (if not, then shame on them!)

It’s definitely a stupid rule, but apparently it is the rule.

Definitely a great story! :)
