Noella Leduc

Noella Leduc (née Alverson; December 23, 1933 – August 22, 2014) was an American pitcher and outfielder who played from 1951 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

Leduc grew up playing sandlot ball with her neighborhood kids at age five, most of them boys.

In 1951, while playing in a boys' team, Leduc was spotted by AAGPBL catcher Rita Briggs.

In the mid of the year, she hurled and won a 14-inning complete game while scoring the winning run after hitting a double.

This time, her team gave her plenty of run support, as she went 9–10, tying for fourth in games pitched (24).
