Callaway has three region games remaining in the regular season, including Thursday’s game at Heard County.

Callaway hosts Temple on Sept. 25 before completing region play at Bremen on Sept. 27.

Lamar County, after its four-run first inning, added four runs in the third inning, and five more in the top of the fourth.
