Milford has gone a perfect 3-0 against Monticello recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Tigers will take on the Buckaroo at 3:00 p.m. One thing working in Milford's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last five games.

It was a proper cat-fight when Milford challenged Water Canyon on Friday. The Tigers were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Wildcats. The win continues a trend for the Tigers in their matchups with the Wildcats: they've now won eight in a row.

Miley Willden was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out nine over five innings pitched. Willden was also solid in the batter's box, earning one RBI, one run, and one stolen base.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Stahley Beebe, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season. Macie Crocker was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.

Milford was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .455. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .342 or higher in five consecutive contests.

Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Monticello's offense. They came up short against Panguitch on Friday, falling 16-0. The defeat continues a trend for the Buckaroo in their meetings with the Bobcats: they've now lost four in a row.

Monticello's loss dropped their record down to 2-7. As for Milford, their record now sits at 13-7.

Monticello's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Milford has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 11.7 hits per game. It's a different story for Monticello, though, as they've been averaging 11 hits. Given Milford's sizable advantage in that area, the Buckaroo will need to find a way to close that gap.

Milford got the 'W' in their previous matchup back in March of 2025 against Monticello by a conclusive 15-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
