Summary of the Video Softball Player

  

In the video there were two teams competing in softball. There was this girl named Sara in the Western Oregon that has never hit or made a home run in her life. But that day of the game she did and she hit the ball over the fence and ran but she noticed that she missed first base so she was turning back but as she was turning back she had hurt her knee and she fell on the floor. She had to crawl back to first base because she couldn't walk and her teammates couldn't help her cause the run wouldn't count so these two girls named Mallory and Liz from Central Washington softball team decided to ask the umpire if she can help her out and the umpire said yea they can. So they helped her run through the bases. I think what these two girls did was very nice of them because they were helping out another person who was hurt. They were nice enough to carry Sara thru all the bases so her home run can count.
