Two girls playing on opposing high school softball teams noticed they looked remarkably alike. Then they discovered something much deeper: they were sisters.

The two players lined up against each other on the field, unaware of the connection. It was only after the game that they learned the truth about their family.

The story was featured by Sunny Skyz among its good news roundups for the week.

Moments like these are rare. Two athletes, brought together by sport, found family they did not know they had.

The discovery has touched readers online. For the two sisters, every future game will carry a very different meaning.

Neither girl knew the other existed. Their families had been separated years earlier, and the game brought them back together.

They have since spent time getting to know each other. Coaches from both teams said the discovery was the best moment of the season.

For two girls who started the day as rivals, it ended as family.
