Marcus Ragan went 10 days between hits. He’s been making up for lost time ever since.

The senior leadoff hitter continued his torrid hitting streak by going 4-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored to lead Warren Central to an 18-3 rout of Greenville on Thursday night.

Ragan, who went three games without a hit, is 10-for-13 (a .769 average) in the three games since then. The Vikings have won all of them.

“Marcus Ragan is absolutely on fire,” Warren Central coach Conner Douglas said. “He’s seeing a beach ball right now. He’s using the whole field and hitting lasers. Not even infield hits, gap shots. I hope he continues, because we feed off it as a team.”

Ragan wasn’t the only one hitting on Thursday. The Vikings totaled 14 hits in all, and scored six runs in the first, third and fourth innings. The game only lasted 3 1/2 innings because of the mercy rule.

Brooks Boolos went 2-for-2 with a double and three runs scored. Conner Wilkinson drove in two runs and scored two more, and Taft Nesmith was 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs scored. John Austin Burris also had three RBIs.

The win was the Vikings’ second this week against Greenville (2-4, 2-3 Division 4-6A) and secured for them at least a No. 2 seed in the Class 6A playoffs.

Warren Central (8-5, 5-1) will play Clinton next Friday at Viking Field for the Division 4-6A championship.

Callaway 10, Vicksburg 5

Vicksburg High’s division championship hopes were dealt a crushing blow Thursday night when it lost to Callaway.

The loss snapped the Gators’ four-game winning streak and made it almost impossible to catch Pearl (14-2, 6-0 Division 4-5A) for the division title. Vicksburg (4-6, 3-2) needs to beat Pearl twice, Callaway (3-4, 2-3) once, and have Pearl lose at least one other division game.

Vicksburg and Pearl play twice next week, Tuesday at Pearl and Friday night at Bazinsky Field.
