SANTA ROSA BEACH - Missed opportunities ended the season for South Walton’s softball in the Class 3A regional semifinals with a 3-0 loss to Chipley.
    “We just didn’t finish our opportunities, and they did,” said South Walton coach Phil Tisa.
    The Seahawks finished the season 23-2, the best in the school’s six-year history. They also won the District 1 title and the county championship for the first time. Both losses, however, came against Chipley.
    However, the ride came to an end for the Seahawks when Chipley’s Rachael Fowler drilled a two-run homer over the left-center field fence in the fourth inning.
    In the top of the seventh, the Tigers scored one run on two hits and a South Walton error. Skylar Davis singled and Fowler doubled. Vanessa Hatcher reached on a fielder’s choice to load the bases. Two outs later, Watson had a strikeout that would have ended the inning, but the catcher missed the pitch and Davis advanced to make the score 3-0.
