Great sportsmanship

[Roughneck]

This story warmed the cockles of my heart and made me smile.

In a time and age where finding decent role models in the world of sports is getting scarcer by the day, these young girls showed the world that no-one is bigger than the game itself.

That true sportsmen (and women!) play for the love of the game - not for the fame, accolades or monetary compensation alone.

Three cheers and a big "Thank You!" to these fine ladies.

Western Oregon senior Sara Tucholsky had never hit a home run in her career. Central Washington senior Mallory Holtman was already her school's career leader in them. But when a twist of fate and a torn knee ligament brought them face to face with each other and face to face with the end of their playing days, they combined on a home run trot that celebrated the collective human spirit far more than individual athletic achievement.
