With the Division 4-6A championship in hand and only a few playoff tuneup games left in the regular season, Warren Central could have coasted as it began the stretch run Tuesday night.

It didn’t. It kept the pedal to the metal.

Brooks Boolos went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, Booth Buys pitched six strong innings, and the Vikings finished off an undefeated run within the division by beating Clinton 6-4.

Warren Central (17-5, 9-0 Division 4-6A) swept the season series from Clinton (15-10, 6-3) and went undefeated within the division for the first time in at least a decade.

“It’s been a while. I’m not sure when it last happened,” Warren Central coach Conner Douglas said of the perfect division record. “I’m very proud of the guys for buying in and becoming a team. That’s what makes these guys so good. They deserved it with all the hard work they put in.”

The Vikings scored unearned runs in the third and fifth innings Tuesday night, then plated three in the sixth to take a 5-0 lead. Conner Wilkinson had an RBI double and Tyler Vroman a two-run single to spur things along. Boolos added an RBI single in the seventh, but Clinton mounted a comeback that made things interesting.

After Mike Brown doubled in two runs in the sixth, Mason Pigg delivered a two-run single with two outs in the seventh. Brown drew a walk to put the tying run on base, but Colby Collier hit a grounder to short to end the game.

“They had some good swings and competed. Tip your hat to them. But we found a way to finish it up,” Douglas said.

Buys pitched six innings for the Vikings. He allowed two runs on three hits, walked one batter and struck out three. Boolos relieved him to start the seventh and ran into trouble, but worked through it in a non-save situation.

Pigg had two hits and two RBIs for Clinton. Parker Lee started on the mound and allowed five runs — only two earned — in five-plus innings. He started the sixth but left after giving up Vroman’s two-run single.
