Mosinee came out on top in a nail-biter against Medford in their previous meeting back in May of 2023, sneaking past 3-2. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Medford's Martha Miller, who struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits (and only one walk). Now that she won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be that much easier for Mosinee to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
