Western Oregon vs Central Washington (An unforgettable act of good character!)
It all occurred one afternoon, when Western Oregon and Central Washington competed for the conference final in softball. It was unforgettable moment for Sara, a girl who had never hit a home run in her college career, or in her entire life, where out of all the games she played, she finally hit a home run and as a result was real excited as she ran to score for her team. What she soon realized that out of her excitement, she had forgotten to touch first base thus making her turn back and accidentally tear her ACL. She then crawled to first base in terrible pain while coach Pam Knox asked the official/referee if Sarah could be subbed out. Unfortunately, she could but it would not count as a home run, so then Mallory and Liz players from Central Washington decided to carry Sarah to last base, which was an incredible ting to do in a final. Nonetheless, their coach Gary Frederick and Coach Pam Knox felt touched by this great act of good character as well as the rest of the teams and the people who attended the game. I felt great witnessing this, it makes me want to be that person who steps up to show good character.
