Lady Dolphins 7, West Florida 2 Gulf Breeze held West Florida scoreless over the final six innings, getting at least one base hit from seven of their nine spots in the batting order to win their second straight district title. The Lady Dolphins, the ‘visiting’ team since West Florida was the top seed in the tournament, took a 2-0 lead on Culpepper’s homer. Haley Bohannon, who went 2-for-5 and scored twice, reached on an infield single to set the stage for Culpepper. “Adrian and I have talked a lot about it. One of these days, she’s going to get the proper extension and it’ll go out (of the ballpark),” Tomey said. “I’m so proud of her.
