It will be a very familiar postseason matchup as No. 2 seed defending champion Medina hosts No.10 Fredonia in the quarterfinal round of the Section VI Class B baseball tournament at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Vets Park.

It marks the third straight year that Medina and Fredonia have met in the sectionals.

In 2024 Medina nipped Fredonia 4-3 at Grand Island in a rain interrupted Class B championship game. Last year the Mustangs edged past the Hillbillies 2-1 in 9 innings in the Class B semifinals at Vets Park.

Medina, which is 16-2, opened sectional play on Sunday by thumping No. 15 Newfane 23-0 while Fredonia downed No. 7 Tonawanda 8-5.

The winner of Tuesday’s game will advance to Thursday’s Class B semifinal against the winner of the No. 3 Southwestern vs. No. 6 Springville contest.

Tuesday’s other Class B quarterfinals will have No. 5 Roy-Hart hosting No. 13 Cleveland Hill and No. 9 Akron at No. 1 JFK both at 5 p.m.

Roy-Hart downed No. 12 Alden 6-3 in the opening round while Cleve Hill topped No. 4 Lafayette 16-1 and Akron edged Silver Creek 12-10. JFK had the opening round bye.

The Class B semifinals are scheduled for Thursday and the finals for Saturday at 4 p.m. at Frontier High School.
