This is nobility, and that is not attached to any belief system. It is a tribute to God that we were created to love, have compassion and to share that with others. This feeling of humility, of connectedness cannot be manufactured but MUST be honest and real. Bless the girls on both teams, one that wanted to follow the rules, one that wanted to reward effort, and an umpire with the wisdom to see the right path.

If someone can translate this video to german, please do it, because my english is not good enough. The only what I can see, two members from the different team are carring this girl. It is very emotional. And I can see, with god you can all.Was passiert ist, traf das Mädchen in der roten Uniform ein Homerun. In ihrer Aufregung vergaß sie zum ersten Base, die sie tun musste, denn es zählt zu berühren. Als sie zurückkam, wandte sich an das erste Base zu berühren, riss sie ihr ACL Band, und kroch zum ersten. Wenn einer der eigenen Mitspieler halfen ihr, 2., 3., und zu Hause, würde sie nicht ihr homerun bekommen haben. Ein Mädchen aus der gegnerischen Mannschaft gefragt, ob sie tragen konnten sie den Rest des Weges, und die Beamten ja gesagt. So zeigte die gegnerische Mannschaft großen Sportsgeist und trug das Mädchen Homeplate, die man das Spiel für den verletzten Mädchen und verlor das Spiel für die Durchführung ihrer.

What happened is, the girl in the Red uniform hit a homerun. In her excitement, she forgot to touch first base, which she needed to do for it to count. When she turned back to touch first base, she tore her ACL ligament, and crawled to first. If any of her own teammates helped her to 2nd, 3rd, and home, she would not have gotten her homerun. A girl from the opposing team asked if THEY could carry her the rest of the way, and the officials said yes. So, the opposing team showed great sportsmanship and carried the girl to homeplate, which one the game for the injured girl and lost the game for those carrying her.

This is what the meaning of sport is all about. This is what the Ancient Greeks meant when they established the Olympic Games and in what was said, in 1920, when the Modern Olympic Athlete oath was first spoken..."in a spirit of chivalry, for the honour of our country and for the glory of sport."

These kids have shown all of us, the way it should be.

There was more then one homerun yes the great feat of hitting over fence and the magic of softball to have it last time at bat. And the homerun by the other team. Thnk you all for giving me hope at a time it is so fleeting. God bless you all in your futures..Im sure you all will have bright ones.

This is a truly touching incident, and the girls from the opposing team definitely have a firm grip on what "sportsmanship" is all about, yet, there was no comment giving glory to God for the right attitudes and actions displayed. The two girls on the other team should have received MVP votes for their attitudes and I pray that the injured girl has or does recover very soon.

@ bobhoey the details are there at exactly 1:17 the second runner steps down on what is ACTUALLY home plate. The bright white you see above her and to the left is part of the chalk outline of the batters box. Home plate is centered between the 2 batters boxes at the midpoint. Hard to see but its there.

This is a very touching story but it is also interesting to pay attention to the details. Both of the runners who preceded Sarah, failed to touch home plate as they came in. This doesn't take anything away from Sarah or the graciousness of the opposing player but I find it interesting since the whole story is predicated on the technicality of Sarah not being able to be assisted by her own team.
