The footage was taken by Sue Wallin, a parent at the game. Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon is up to bat against Central Washington. The video picks up as Tucholsky hits her first ever - in her life - home run. Just past 1st base, she tears a ligament in her knee and is unable to run any further. The umpires state that if her teammates or coaches assist her she will be declared out and if a pinch runner is substitued for her, her homer will be declared a single. Hearing this, Central Washington's Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace offer to carry her around the bases. Thus ends Tucholsky's softball season and career.

This has to be the greatest moment in the annals of sports. These are true heroes and they deserved the award.
Greatest moment in sports history...true sportsmanship at it's finest.
all three were honored tonight at the ESPY awards for best moment-and these awards are voted on by fans-not media or anyone else-if you want to see the award it is near the very end of the awards show which will be shown several times over the next few days on ESPN
