Millis now has a winning record of 2-1. As for Medfield, they now also have a winning record of 2-1.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Medfield has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 9.7 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Millis struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.7 strikeouts.
