Middleton waltzed into their match on Wednesday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 6-5 W against the DeForest Norskies. The Cardinals have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Norskies, too.

Middleton's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-6. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for DeForest, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-7.

Looking ahead, Middleton is taking a road trip to face off against Madison East at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Cardinals are facing the Purgolders at the right time seeing as the Purgolders are stuck on a 17-game losing streak. As for DeForest, they will square off against Milton at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Red Hawks' pitching crew has only allowed 2.5 runs per game this season, so the Norskies' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
