Surprise! Fisher's team wins charity softball game

It took a Bump Bailey type effort in the outfield by punter Johnny Hekker, but coach Jeff Fisher's squad (surprise!) won again in the fourth annual "Coach Fisher & Friends" celebrity softball game.

Fisher's squad held off a squad coached by special teams coordinator John Fassel 20-17 Sunday night at T.R. Hughes ballpark in O'Fallon, Mo. With a runner on base in the seventh _ and final _ inning, a running catch by Hekker crashing into the fence in right-center field robbed wide receiver Kenny Britt of a home run.

Hekker knocked over a section of the fence making the catch, but unlike Bailey in the Robert Redford movie _ The Natural _ he lived to tell about.
