Sports mean different things to different people. Some play just
for recreation, while others play to make a living.
But for the athletes of the UCLA Special Olympics, sports take
on a whole new meaning, and during this Sunday’s Sixth Annual
Spring Sports Classic at UCLA, these athletes will get to show off
their talents and come together and bond with one another.

As utility players, Krista Colburn and Kristen Dedmon are called
upon to fill many roles. Pitching, though, usually isn’t one
of them.
But when starting pitcher Lisa Dodd hurt her throwing hand
before last weekend’s Bulldog Classic, UCLA softball coach
Sue Enquist called upon both Colburn and Dedmon to fill in for the
injured sophomore.

Coming off a week where starting pitcher Anjelica Selden was
named Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week, it would be assumed that the
Bruin softball team would have notched more than one victory over
that span.
