Warren Central’s softball team stayed red-hot heading into its biggest region game of the season.

Madison Pant hit a home run and allowed a total of one run in seven innings pitched as the Lady Vikes won both of their games at the South Panola tournament on Saturday.

In their first game of the day, the Lady Vikes beat North Point 5-0. Pant hit a two-run home run to key a five-run rally in the first inning, while Tyra Bridges and Mari Kynlea Ferguson added RBI singles.

In game two, Pant hit two sacrifice flies and finished with three RBIs total as Warren Central defeated Senatobia 14-1.

Adalyn Anderson was 2-for-3 with a double and four RBIs for Warren Central. Bridges had two hits and an RBI, while Kamryn Morson went 2-for-2 with two RBIs and three runs scored.

Sarah Cameron Fancher also singled in a run and scored twice during a 12-run outburst in the third inning.

Pant allowed two hits, one walk, and one run — on a solo home run by Bree Coleman in the third inning — and had four strikeouts in three innings pitched against Senatobia. Pant had five strikeouts in four innings against North Point.

Warren Central (12-3) won its fifth game in a row and is off to its best start since going 11-0 during the COVID-shortened 2020 season. Its next game, however, is Tuesday at home against Region 2-6A rival Neshoba Central (10-2), which has won nine state championships in the past 11 seasons.

Tuesday’s junior varsity game will begin at 5 p.m. and the varsity at 6:15.
