Softball Cardinals grab Big 8 lead

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 04/23/2025 - 20:44

Megan Button knows better than anyone what a menace Sun Prairie East has been to Middleton’s girls softball program in recent years.

Macey Blazek is just learning what a thorn East has been in Middleton’s side.

But as the two MHS standouts stood outside their dugout at Firefighter’s Park on April 17, they both knew this much — perhaps the worm has turned.

Button threw a four-hit gem, while Blazek had two RBIs and made a spectacular diving catch in center field to power Middleton past East, 3-1, in a critical Big Eight Conference game.

Middleton, which has won six straight games, is now 6-0 in the conference and 8-1 overall. MHS, which is gunning for its first conference title since 2015, holds a one-game lead in the loss column over both Verona (5-1, 8-1) and Sun Prairie East (4-1, 4-4).

Rough week for baseball Cardinals

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 04/23/2025 - 20:41

It wasn’t the week they hoped for.

The good news is Middleton’s baseball team has a lot of season left to recover.

The Cardinals dropped three of four games last week and are now 5-4 overall and 4-2 in the Big Eight Conference.

Madison Memorial, Sun Prairie East and Verona are all 5-0 in the Big Eight and tied for the conference lead. Middleton is in fourth place in the league.

The Cardinals opened the week with a pair of home losses — first a 7-2 setback to Monona Grove on April 14, then a 6-5 decision to Verona on April 15. Middleton rebounded with a 14-0 rout of host Janesville Parker on April 16, but lost at Verona, 3-2, on April 17.

Soccer Cardinals win Arrowhead Invite

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 04/16/2025 - 21:10

TOWN OF MERTON — Middleton’s girls soccer team was just moments away from kicking off their new season last Friday.

And Cardinals’ coach Mary Duffy had a final message for her team.

“I said, we’re going to jump right into the fire everybody,” Duffy said. “And we’ll see what we’re made of.”

Less than 24 hours later, Duffy had discovered these Cardinals might be made of steel.

Middleton went to the Hartland Arrowhead Quadrangular and left with the championship. Although no trophy was technically awarded, the Cardinals captured the title thanks to shootout wins over both Arrowhead in Friday’s semifinals and Whitnall in Saturday’s title match.

Middleton and Arrowhead played to a 1-1 tie before the Cardinals won the shootout, 4-2. Middleton and Whitnall played to a scoreless draw on Saturday afternoon, and once again, the Cardinals won the shootout, 3-0.
