MADISON – After losing their first three division games, Madison Central has righted the ship and made things interesting.

Alex Fuselier allowed just two hits over six shutout innings and Ryan Lee’s two-run double helped the Jaguars to a 6-1 win over Warren Central on Tuesday.

&#8220Alex threw a whale of a ballgame. He threw great and we couldn’t be more proud of him, stepping in and getting that job done in a big game against a really good team,” said MC coach Gregg Perry.

The win moves Madison Central to 12-4 overall, and 4-3 in Division 3-5A. Warren Central (14-6, 5-2) lost a chance to put a stranglehold on the division crown. but can still clinch the title with wins over Greenville-Weston and Vicksburg.

&#8220Not taking anything away from (Fuselier). He threw good, but we’ve seen good arms all year, &#8220WC coach Randy Broome said. &#8220We just didn’t bring our fight with us and that’s why we got beat tonight.

&#8220I was more dissappointed than mad (because) we didn’t compete, plain and simple.”

Eric Douglas (3-3) went the distance for the Vikings, allowing eight hits and six runs. But only two were earned as his defense made five costly errors, and MC made him pay each time.

&#8220That’s our game. We’re going to hit the ball, but we’re also going to move it around on you,” Perry said. &#8220Hopefully force the other team to make mistakes, and they made a few tonight.

&#8220I like to look at errors as the fact that maybe we hit some balls hard and made them make some errors.”

In the second, Mitch Harrison started the inning with a triple to right field. Brian Higbee followed with a single and Lee’s blast to the gap put the Jags up 3-0.

Lee scored when Chris Whittington couldn’t handle a ground ball down the line by catcher Grafton Bragg. Ben Hodge served as the courtesy runner, and reached third on a pickoff attempt that got by first baseman Parker White.

Hodge scored on a sac fly by Nathan Hardy.

&#8220We helped them out. They would have got some runs out of that inning, no doubt about it,” Broome said. &#8220But when you can’t make the plays, that can’t happen at this level of competition.”

That was all Fuselier (5-0) would need. The lefthander mixed a sharp breaking ball with location on his fastball. The senior &#8220ran out of juice” in the seventh, but after Ben Koestler’s RBI single, Perry turned to his closer.

&#8220We had (junior) Logan (Hale) ready to do that if he needed to,” Perry said, &#8220and six pitches (later), he got out of the game.”
