MONMOUTH, Ore., April 30 (UPI) -- An injured Western Oregon University softball player got her first home run thanks to members of the opposing team who carried her around the bases.

In a game against Central Washington last weekend, Western right-fielder Sara Tucholsky was running to first base when her right knee gave out, causing her to collapse just moments after hitting her first homer, The (Portland) Oregonian reported Wednesday.

In a move of selflessness, Central first baseman Mallory Holtman and teammate Liz Wallace volunteered to carry the injured opponent around the bases, the newspaper reported.

Western reportedly took the game 4-2, crushing Central's hopes of making it to the NCAA Division II playoffs.

"In the end, it is not about winning and losing so much. She hit it over the fence and was in pain and she deserved a home run ...," Holtman said.

Western was a game ahead of the Wildcats in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference when they met in Ellensburg, Wash., Saturday for a doubleheader.

I only wished ESPN would loop this all day and night as opposed to more steroid, weed, and strip club stories.

I actually heard about this on the Worldwide Loser yesterday. Although it was mentioned as an after thought at the end of the broadcast.

When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices. Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.
