Eight-run sixth powers Georgia to comeback win
The Diamond Dogs made it clear Wednesday night that there is still plenty of fight left in this battle-weary Bulldog bunch. After trailing the Western Carolina Catamounts (25-14-1) through six innings, the Bulldogs (13-29) clawed their way back from a five-run deficit by putting together an eight-run, sixth-inning explosion to earn a 13-10 victory, snapping [...]
Diamond Dogs fail to finish off Georgia Tech in loss
ATLANTA – The rivalry between the Diamond Dogs and the Yellow Jackets in 2010 was hardly the hotly-contested on-field feud fans have become accustomed to seeing in recent years. Georgia Tech staked a firm claim to the state’s baseball bragging rights with their 6-4 defeat of the Diamond Dogs Tuesday night in Atlanta at Turner [...]
Turner Field game first for young Dogs
From tee-ball to Little League, all the way through the college ranks, it is every baseball player’s fantasy. But for most players, taking the field in a professional baseball stadium to compete never happens. However, the 36 members of the Diamond Dogs roster will have a chance to live that dream this evening when they [...]
Diamond Dogs drop doubleheader
The Diamond Dogs bid to avoid being swept at home by an SEC foe for the second time this season was foiled Sunday afternoon by untimely walks, as the No. 10 South Carolina Gamecocks took a doubleheader from the Bulldogs 5-0 and 8-7 at Foley Field. “You think you’re getting over the hump, they tease [...]
Flexing his muscle
Quarterback’s dismissal shows a new, long-awaited tough side of Mark Richt And then there were two. Quarterbacks left competing for the Bulldogs starting job this fall, that is. It may be some time before we learn exactly why redshirt freshman quarterback Zach Mettenberger — who was one of three players vying for the starting position [...]
Dogs focus to cut down on walks
Head coach David Perno refused to pull punches when discussing his frustration with the pitching problems that have bogged down his Diamond Dog team all season, even following Wednesday’s 4-2 win over Winthrop. “It’s been a combination of just a bunch of bad stuff,” said Perno of his pitching staff, which owns an SEC-worst 8.48 [...]
Diamond Dogs finally pull out victory
It has been awhile since the Diamond Dogs have earned a midweek victory. Nearly two months to be exact, since the team’s home opener, an 11-3 victory over Presbyterian on Feb. 24. Perhaps that explains why Wednesday night’s starting pitcher, left-hander Chase Hawkins, had trouble remembering how a midweek victory felt following the Bulldogs 4-2 [...]
Bulldogs’ struggles on mound, at plate continue
In midweek contests this season, it’s been anyone’s guess who will be taking the mound for the Diamond Dogs (11-25, 3-12 SEC). In last week’s 25-6 loss to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, the Bulldogs used a record 10 different arms, none of which enjoyed much success as the Yellow Jackets hammered 25 hits [...]
Unpaid intern trend hurts job market
Every time I tweak my résumé, which has been quite frequently lately, I get a strange sinking feeling. It’s the kind of empty feeling you get when you leave on a road trip, certain that you forgot to bring something important, but unable to put your finger on exactly what you might have left behind. [...]
