SALT LAKE CITY — Three stories from the world of sports in today's From Left Field!
1. Real volleyball player scores point off her face
Yes, Scott Sterling's fictional exploits on Studio C have caught the attention of sports fans around the world.
But in this Idaho club match, Sabrina Radford, a junior from Nampa, really did score a point off her face.
Does life imitate art, or does art imitate life?
2. Rafael Nadal's tweener winner
Sam Groth, an Australian, is a good tennis player. Nadal, though is a better one. This between-the-legs winner was just another point for Nadal in his 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 win over Groth in the first round of the French Open.

3. Scoring two runs on a walk
Hey, this is clever! In this weekend's regional softball collegiate championships, the Florida Gators scored two runs off of a bases-loaded walk.
Kelsey Stewart for the Gators noticed that UCF pitcher Jamie Ujvari wasn't watching, so she took off after the walk and scored two runs on the simple error of focus.
