A trip through the Big Eight softball schedule is quite similar to a journey through the Big Ten’s men’s basketball slate.
The depth of the league is daunting. There aren’t any off nights. And if you can hold your own, great things could await.
Middleton’s softball team continues to hang tough and got itself back on track with a pair of impressive wins last week.
The Cardinals defeated host Janesville Parker, 11-4, on April 15. Middleton then edged visiting Janesville Craig, 3-2, on April 16.
The Cardinals also fell to Sun Prairie on April 18 and are now 7-6 overall and 4-4 in the league.
“Those were two good wins,” Middleton manager Perry Hibner said. “Craig and Parker are solid teams.
“All three of us, along with Madison Memorial, are probably just below Verona, Sun Prairie and Beloit Memorial. We did a pretty good job in each game in every phase of the game.”
Here’s a recap of the Cardinals’ two wins.
