One day after authoring a one-hit win over Lakeland, Medford’s pitching ace came one out away from a five-inning perfect game Tuesday in a 13-0 win at Northland Pines. A one-out walk in the bottom of the fifth spoiled that, but she

Depth alone likely would’ve propelled the Medford Raiders to team championships in their first outdoor meet of 2024 Thursday, but there were several noteworthy and improved performances during the six-team Early Bird Invitational at Raider Field.
