Cool story but that's BS that her own team wasn't allowed to help her out. Maybe they will change the rules in light of this story.

Great story, but being a softball mom, I doubt that the rules will change. What great sportsmanship of the other team though.

This was on sportscenter's Outside the Lines one Sunday during the summer. I was at the lake, we were having breakfast. I completely lost it while eating with my friends and family. The amount of selflessness, courage, and sportmanship displayed by all those girls was impossible o contain. I thought I was a gracious and good sport, till I saw that.

WOW, great story, nope I didn't loose it watching that, you don't know, you weren't here! I'm fine! ;)

I agree, hats off to those girls, their parents and coach, they have obviously learned some great values.
