Middleton’s baseball team has spent most of the spring starving for games.
Saturday afternoon, the Cardinals had a chance for a feast.
Unfortunately for Middleton, it left the dinner table still hungry.
The Cardinals toppled Beloit Memorial, 3-2, in the first of two games played that day. In the second game, though, Madison West toppled the Cardinals, 3-2, in 10 innings.
Middleton is now 2-1 on the young season
“Our pitching has been really good so far,” said Middleton manager Tom Schmitt, whose game against Madison La Follette Tuesday was rained out. “Our hitting has a ways to go.”
In the Cardinals’ win over Beloit Memorial, Brian Lochner went 2-for-3. Both Jackson Keeler and Reese Felton had doubles, as well.
Middleton scored all three of its runs in the first inning.
With two outs, Brian Lochner singled and stole second base. Tanner Meinholz reached on an error and Casey Miller followed with a run-scoring single.
