DULUTH - An area softball legend is received a special honor on Sunday.

The late Paula Bergren is being inducted into the Minnesota Softball Hall of Fame. Bergren was a pioneer and advocate for women's softball in Duluth.

Paula's sister, Sue Spencer said she always loved the game and would have been honored to be here for the induction.

“She really loved softball, she was involved with softball at a very young age, when there really wasn't any organized women’s or girls sports here in Duluth."

Paula's daughter, mother and two sisters accepted the award on Paula's behalf.
