She participated in golf and tennis, but most of the time she played softball, mostly in the streets or in the prairies, until she became a member of the Wyandotte's top girls' team.

In 1946, she graduated at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Wyandotte and immediately joined the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

She entered the league in 1946 with the South Bend Blue Sox, playing for them one year before joining the Rockford Peaches (1947).

She then found herself on the move again, this time to the Chicago Colleens (1948), Racine Belles (1948), Peoria Redwings (1949) and South Bend Blue Sox (1950), before settling down with the Kalamazoo Lassies for the rest of her career (1951–1954).

The All-Stars, with Bill Allington at the helm, faced the host South Bend Blue Sox, who were managed by Karl Winsch.
