I showed the video segment to my 11 year old son ( an avid baseball player) and he just watched it without saying a word. Sometimes competition can bring out the worst in an athlete, but these athletes showed all of us that sometimes competition can bring out the best in you!

My daughter plays for the same high school softball team that Mallory did and this has been an inspiration to all of them as well as all their fans. Way to go!!!

Dear Ellen,

I grewup with Sara's Aunt Kim. I know this story doesn't surprise me, because her Aunt Kim is in heaven now and is watching over her. Kim was a very sports minded person herself. I'm so excited to see this kind of sportship.

The Tucholsky family would take in anybody and make them fill like family.

Wow, this was so exciting to hear. Way to go, ladies. My grandniece is an aspiring fast pitch softball player who has been taught that sportsmanship is more important that the win. I hate to say this, but I fear that only women understand this concept.

I remember my stepsons playing ball and soccer and the embarassment of watching their mom yell and scream at the umps and coaches. We finally had to stop going because we would have parents staring at us like we could do anything about her.

Ellen, please bring more inspirational stories about the good in kids. The media gives us enough of the bad.

I was very pleased to hear about the wonderful sportsmanship and would like some move information to share with the young athletes is my area. Thank you girls.

yeah!!! I saw that on the news!!!

I cried then.. awe!! how nice..

AND!!

I cried again on Ellen!!!

ps... my grams has a bib!!.. or 3 :)

Sarah was in the dorms with me freshman year and I have known her to be very respectful and kind to others. What happened to her happens to a lot of athletes but what was so different was the fact that opposing players as well as the coaches were so eager to help her around the bases. I am honored to have known Sarah for a short time and I wish her all the best in her career after college...Congrats on the home run Sarah!

As one of Liz' former teachers and former softball coach in high school, I just want to say that this story does not surprise me. Liz has always been one of the best kids I've ever known. She has always been one of those people who you could always count on.
I really miss having her here at school!!

PROUD OF YOU LIZARD!! LOVE YOU LOTS!

I am a born athlete that doesn't have the killer instinct, but rather I learned the significance of women's athletics. You meet people from everywhere and anywhere. This incident is a true sign of very good character. Kudos to these fine athletes and the people that helped them along the way.
My mentors were a junior high and high school coaches that helped me sort things out and become the best person I could possibly be and along the way was a celebrated athlete!
These 2 ladies/athletes have learned the significance also and did the right thing! Sara make sure you do the rehab and make the best of the experience!
Ellen thank you for rewarding these ladies and EVERYONE please remember there is more to life than athletics! Athletics is a stepping stool to becoming the best person you can be!

What were the two schools involved that these beautiful young ladies represented? This was a unique situation that should have gotten a little more attention and recognition!

I am a Washington state native and I am so proud that this display of true sportsmanship came out of Washington. There are great people in the Northwest and these young ladies are certainly a wonderful example. Way to go Liz and Mallory - for just being yourselves that day. You have touched many lives.
And to Sara, I hope your knee heals quickly... you'll always remember those who helped you after your injury. God Bless you all and your teammates.

This isn't just about good sporstmanship... this is an example of Liz and Mallory's true character!!

Let's face it folks, in the end, the score of that game will not matter, but how they lived their lives and how they treated others WILL matter. These girls have figured out something that a lot of adults haven't.

As the parent of a young teen, I am touched to know that this story is getting airtime. These are the role models I want for my child.

Way to go, Liz and Mallory! You have the hearts and character of TRUE CHAMPIONS!!!!

these girls attend the same university as i in central Washington. Although i personally did not see the softball game i cannot express how proud i am to see people like these girls represent this university. I'm so glad we understand sportsmanship and more importantly an act of kindness no matter how small can deeply impact someones life.

I go to my grandsons roller hockey games. They are 7 & 8 1/2, the team they are on, the kids are all about the same age. A father last week was yelling at his son from the upper bleachers where we were sitting. He actually was screaming at his son to come to the "glass" so he could scream right in his face. His son looked at him but continue to play the game. Not for nothing, his team was winning NOT losing yet he continue to scream at his son & still continue after the game as his son was undressing, at the rink & in the back of his vehicle. VERY SAD for this young boy. I wanted to say something but my husband told me to mind own business, believe me it was very hard.
