Sarah Dabbs played softball in her home state of Florida during ten years before joining the league.[2] From 1940 to 1941, she demonstrated her role as catcher and cleanup hitter for the R. H. Hall team of St. Petersburg that won the Florida women's softball in consecutive years.[3]
Dabbs served as a backup outfielder for the Fort Wayne Daisies during the 1947 season, playing briefly for them while collecting a .091 batting average in 12 games.[4] She is remembered for making several sparkling running catches at outfield and for taking some timely hitting for the Daisies.[1]
