3 unusual facts about Anna May Hutchison


Anna May Hutchison

Backed by the fine pitching of Mildred Earp, Grand Rapids won Game 4 by a 3–0 margin, and needed only one more victory for the championship.

Nevertheless, Hutchison was able to make the adjustment to pitching before the 1946 season, when Leo Murphy, former Pittsburgh Pirates catcher and Belles manager, helped her to throw a fastpitch underhand delivery during spring training.

In Game 1 of the first round, Hutchison won a 17-inning pitching duel against the stellar Jean Faut.
