She also appeared in the first [[All-American Girls Professional Baseball League All-Star Team|AAGPBL All-Star Game]] on July 1, 1943, which coincidentally became the first night game ever played at Wrigley Field. The contest was played under temporary lights between two teams composed of Kenosha and Racine players against Rockford and South Bend players.<ref>[

On the other hand, she continued her college education and obtained a bachelor's degree from [[DePaul University]]. She became a [[physical education]] teacher and later received a master's degree from [[Chicago State University]], spanning a 34-year career in the [[Chicago Public Schools]] system until her retirement in 1980. This led to her working for ten years as a guidance counselor.
