MADISON — It took Madison Central just 92 minutes to grab a 1-0 lead in a Class 6A second-round playoff series Friday night at Jaguar Field.

The Jaguars, ranked seventh nationally by Maxpreps.com, belted 15 hits to crush Warren Central 15-3 in five innings. Madison Central (27-1) will seek to close out the series tonight at 7 in Game 2 at Viking Field.

Vikings coach Josh Abraham is pinning his hopes that senior Beau Wallace can extend the series when he takes the ball for Game 2. Wallace did his part in Game 1 by getting a pair of hits, including a solo home run in the fifth inning off Jaguar starter and Ole Miss signee Josh Laxer.

“What we’ve got to do is take care of business on our home field like they just did on their home field,” Abraham said.
