Jason Thompson/Gulf Breeze News Derek Jeter awaits a throw in a recent Dolphin game. Jeter hit a two-run homer in the Dolphins' 3-1 win over Pine Forest Friday.

Two weeks ago, Greg Tober pitched one of the best games of his life, but didn't get the result he wanted.

But on Friday, he did.

Tober threw a complete game four-hitter and struck out 12 as the Dolphins edged Pine Forest 3-1 Friday in Gulf Breeze.

The game was a pitcher's duel between Tober and Pine Forest's Travis Vandervort, who struck out eight and also threw a four-hitter.

Tober threw 95 pitches through six innings and gave up a leadoff double to start the seventh. A throwing error put runners on second and third with nobody out. But Tober, who struck out 12 in a 1-0 loss to Navarre, struck out batters 10, 11 and 12 to end the game.

Gulf Breeze, after leaving runners on base in each of the first two innings, took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third on a two-run homer by Derek Jeter. Jeter had two of the Dolphins' four hits, with Kameron Brunty (single in fourth) and Kolton Hanke (double in sixth) accounting for the other two.

The Eagles stranded at least one runner in every inning.

Brandon Scott's solo homer in the bottom of the first made it 1-0.

Brunty's double in the fourth inning scored Schumacher and Hanke to make it 6-0.

A single and a triple with two outs spoiled the shutout bid for the Dolphins, who got five of its six runs from their seven through nine spots in the batting order.
