As a teenager falling in love with softball in the small town of Ware Shoals, SC, Mickey Davis occasionally read about softball stars and fantasized about becoming one of them. But she realized her dream during a distinguished career with the Atlanta, GA Tomboys, (1964-1966), the Orlando, FL Rebels (1967-68) and the Orange, CA Lionettes (1969-75). Six years in a row (1967-1973) Davis was named an All-American (one first team and five second team) and the year she wasn’t named, 1975, she batted .375 in the national championship, the highest of her career. An outstanding fielder, Davis didn’t make an error in her first seven nationals and committed only two errors in nine nationals for a fielding percentage of .960 (47 putouts, one assist) and a .231 batting average (30-for-130). In 12 years, Davis compiled a .257 batting average and a .966 fielding percentage. She was a member of two national championship teams (1969-70) and two runners-up. She also batted .375 in the 1970 ISF World Championship in Osaka, Japan as the Lionettes, respresenting the USA, finished second behind Japan.
