Gulf Breeze was held hitless in a 3-0, eight-inning loss to Choctaw Feb. 10 and lost 12-0 in five innings Thursday at Pace. Choctaw 3, Lady Dolphins 0

Choctaw's Miranda Michael struck out 20 and walked only two as the Lady Indians used a pair of bloop singles to score three in the eighth.

Gulf Breeze had a chance to win in the bottom of the seventh. With one out, Rosie Atkinson walked and stole second, but Michael struck out the next two to end the threat.

A Deannette Zuniga walk in the first accounted for the Lady Dolphins only other baserunner. Anna Schundelmier and Alison Milam (groundouts to pitcher) and Claire Koontz (grounded out to third) were the only batters to put the ball in play.
