South Bend Blue Sox (1943)

South Bend Blue Sox

1943 South Bend Blue Sox: The Blue Sox were fortunate to have all the components to make a great team. They had strong pitching and the heart of a winnig team.

Together Doris Barr and Margaret "Sonny" Berger pitched 79 of the 91 games played by the Sox. Doris was credited with 15 wins and Sonny with 25 wins. Berger stated her greatest triumph was a 13-inning match, which she won 1-0.

Former model and Canadian softball star Mary "Bonnie" Baker was behind the plate. Bonnie was as talented a player as she was glamorous. She was named All Star catcher in '43, with a respectable batting average of.250.

Everyone knows it takes making plays in the field and scoring runs to bring a team together. Betsy Jochum, sure fielding outfielder and first baseman, kept the team in the running. Betsy fielded with precision and wheeled a mighty bat with a .271 season average, scored 70 runs and had 35 runs batted in.
