B Correct answer
Explanation

The structure is 'Drained ___ another of his typically resolute hundreds' where 'drained' is the past participle meaning exhausted. After 'drained', we need 'after hitting' to show what caused the exhaustion. Option A 'to hit' suggests purpose, C 'for hitting' doesn't fit the context, and D 'with hitting' is grammatically incorrect here.
