Also advancing was top seed Columbia, which scored six runs in the first and went on to down Panama City Beach Arnold 11-1 in five innings. Josie Raulerson led the Tigers (26-3) at the plate, going 3 for 3 with a home run, a double and three RBI.
Caydence Corbitt's RBI double in the first had given Arnold (17-11) a short-lived 1-0 lead. Columbia's Ryleigh Stone and Kinley King combined to limit the Marlins to five hits.

REGION 1-6A
In a game that lasted two days, on two different playing surfaces, in two counties, Navarre ended Tocoi Creek's playoff run.
The Raiders completed a two-day upset of second-seeded Tocoi Creek, 9-4, in the second part of a suspended game that began on the artificial turf of Fort Family Regional Park in Jacksonville and ended one day later at the Toros' home in St. Johns County.
Navarre (15-10) had raced to a 9-1 lead under steady rain on May 12 before umpires halted play in the fourth inning. Naomi Valcin blasted a three-run homer for the Toros (24-3) immediately after the suspended game resumed, but Raiders pitcher Kaleigh Atchley stifled any further Tocoi Creek comeback bids.
The umpire postpones the game in the bottom of the fopirth inning. Tocoi Creek hosted Navarre High School in the 2026 FHSAA Softball 6A Regional Semifinals at the Fort Family Regional Park Tuesday May 12, 2026.
