Sara Tucholsky is a softball player for Western Oregon University who hit a potentially three-run homerun during a game against Central Washington this weekend. Tucholsky twisted her knee rounding first and was unable to continue. The WO coach reminded the team that it they were to help her along, Tucholsky would have been declared out.

Then Mallory Holtman, the powerful first baseman for Central Washington, said words that brought a chill to everybody who heard them: "Excuse me, would it be OK if we carried her around and she touched each bag?"
I'm crying, literally. Little tears are welled up in the corners of my eyes.
