With two runners on base and a strike against her, Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon University uncorked her best swing and did something she had never done before, in highschool or college. Her first homerun cleared the center field fence.
But it appeared to be the shortest of dreams come true when she missed firt base, started back to tag it and collapsed with a knee injury.
She crawled back to first base, but could do no more. The first-base coach said she would be called out if her teammates tried to help her. Or, the umpire said, a pinch runner could be called in and the homer would count as a single.
Then, members of the Central Washington University softball team stunned spectators by carrying Tucholsky around the bases so the three-run homer would count -- an act that contributed to their own elimination from the playoffs. As the trio reached the plate,
Tucholsky said, the entire Western Oregon team was in tears.
