Medford had lost three straight at home, but on Saturday they dropped down to 9-6-1 to make it four. They took a 5-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Denmark Vikings. The Raiders were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Vikings apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Medford saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was AJ Guden, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base.
As for Denmark, they are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 12 games. That lines up perfectly with their 15-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games.
On Denmark's side, Cade Delarwelle spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on two hits and racked up nine Ks. Delarwelle has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Braedon Heezen, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs.
While Medford had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
