Who says the media doesn't report good news? Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon University is not the best fast-pitch softball hitter in America. Her batting average is .153. She had never hit a home run. Until Saturday. With two runners on, she blasted a ball over the center field fence. As she rounded first, she collasped with a knee injury. Under the rules, she would be limited to a single if she couldn't go any farther. Her teammates couldn't help her or she would be called out. The opponents, Central Washington University, could help but they would lose the game if they did. They did anyway. Central Washington's Liz Wallace and Mallory Holtman carried Sara around the bases. It was a display of sportsmanship that made the national news.  It was stunning in its humanity. Central Washington lost the game, but won the respect of the country. Posted by Steve E. Swenson
