This story really touched me this week. In the second inning of a college softball game that would decide a playoff spot, a senior hit her first ever home run (a three-run homer) but injured her knee after missing first base and turning around quickly to tag it. She crawled back to first base, but couldn't do anything else because of her injury. If anyone on her team had tried to help her, she would have been ruled out.
While the officials were discussing what could/should be done, two members of the opposing team took it upon themselves to carry the injured player around the bases, securing the three runs for their opponent, ultimately resulting in a 4-2 loss for them and a chance to advance to the playoffs. What a selfless act!
Here's the story.
