On Sunday Medford’s Post 45 baseball team competed in its first playoff series in over a decade.

Medford, 15-6, suffered a 6-3 loss on the road against Newburyport, 17-7-1.

Meanwhile, Methuen defeated Sudbury 4-0, so Medford will face Sudbury for the second time this season in the double elimination playoffs. Medford is at Sudbury on Tuesday. First pitch is at 5:30PM at Feeley Field. The winner will then play Methuen immediately after the game, according to Coach Ryan Kozul.

The winner of the playoff series will move on to the state finals next week.
