Athlete Finds Out Her Boyfriend is Cheating Just Minutes Before the Big Softball Game, Hits an Epic Home Run, Goes Viral

Life is all about turning sour lemons into delicious lemonade–or in the case of the BA athlete in our next story, turning lemons into a darn good margarita! While we can't control the people around us, strong women can dominate the narrative by the way we react to it. For Payton, a softball star, she turned some pretty terrible news into epic momentum. 

Just minutes before a super important softball game, Payton discovered that her boyfriend had been cheating on her. Yuck. Many women would crumble and seek the comforts of blankets, a girly movie, and perhaps a cathartic phone call with their bestie, but this star athlete responded in an amazing way. With no choice but to head onto the field, she took matters into her own hands–with a baseball bat. 

Scroll for the full video that went viral of Payton's rise from the ashes, where she absolutely crushes a pitch while she's up to bat, no doubt imagining the face of her boyfriend on the ball.
