In Green bay, Wisconsin, at a softball facility, on January 23rd, Seriena Dunaway was playing in a softball league. Dunaway was playing against Elite, her team 's biggest rival. The air was cool and the playing turf was rough and hard to run or slide on. The people in the crowd could see the tension. The music was loud and seemed out of place. Dunaway had drove the ball over the shortstop 's head and had rounded second, it had been a close play, so she slid into third. The umpire, strong and confident, stood up and called her out.

The nurse smiled gently and gestured to the big box that she was carrying. The nurse said, “What size are you going to need?” Dunaway glanced at the box again, realizing that the mysterious box was a box of crutches.

Mindi and Dunaway left the office, getting ready for the MRI. It was later confirmed that the MRI showed a slight tear in the left knee, just like the nurses had thought. The girl had to recover from the injury for 2 months and a year of therapy. Reporting live from Los Angeles, thank you
