Just before the regular season ended, South Bend manager Karl Winsch suspended the flashy Charlene Pryer for not going in to pinch-run quickly when asked, which created an uproar after the game.
Following her school graduation, Pryer joined the United States Marine Corps Women's Reserve in 1944, entertaining troops as a singer with the Dick Jurgens Orchestra.

A native of Watsonville, California, Pryer was the daughter of Willard 'Maurice' Pryer, a minor league pitcher who played in the early 1940s for the Fargo-Moorhead Twins of the Northern League.
