Sara TucholskySong credits: words & music by John McCutcheon Ellensburg, Washington the sun shone so brightA beautiful day for a gameWhen Sara Tucholsky stepped up to the plateShe knew she would ne’er be the sameIt was Senior Day and in all her four seasonsShe’d had no worse year than this oneBatting under .100, she knew at month’s endHer softball career would be doneShe looked at a strike and she looked at the skyShe thought how she’d miss playing ballShe took a deep breath and swung for life or deathHit the next pitch right over the wallSara Tucholsky she sprinted for firstShe’d never once hit a home runHalf way to 2nd her left knee gave outAnd in an instant her season was doneShe lay on the base path writhing in painThe dirt and the tears stained her faceShe knew her homerun would not be recordedUntil she had touched every baseShe looked to her teammates, she looked to her coachBut the ump said, “The rules are quite clear“No one from Western’s allowed to assist you.”When above her a strange voice said, “Here”Mallory Holtman played first base for CentralAnd she held out a hand to the ground“The rules don’t say nothing about your opponentsGet up and I’ll get you around”With her teammate Liz Wallace, Mallory HoltmanLifted Sara right up like a featherThey carried her ‘round ‘til she touched every baseAnd the three girls crossed home plate togetherThus Sara Tucholsky hit her homerunThough she didn’t do it aloneSometimes help comes where you least expect itAnd carries you all the way homeEllensburg, Washington the sun shone so brightA beautiful day for a game?2008 John McCutcheon/Appalsongs (ASCAP) Retrieved May 5, 2014 at And here's what Wikipedia says about Sara Tocholsky.
