The Georgia Diamond Dogs continued their tear through the 2009 baseball schedule and made a little history on the way. The Dogs defeated Quinnipiac 10-0 at Foley Field Friday night for their tenth straight win to start the season, a new school record.

Senior pitcher Trevor Holder delivered another dominating performance.

Trevor Holder held Quinnipiac hitless and recorded seven strikeouts in seven innings to lead Georgia to a 7-0 win over Quinnipiac Friday at Foley Field. With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 10-0, the best start in school history, surpassing the 9-0 start by the 1911 team.

Holder allowed just three base runners, all on walks, and picked up his third win of the season. Dean Weaver pitched the final two innings, and the Bobcats (0-4) didn’t record a base hit until Ben Farina’s single with one out in the ninth. They added another two batters later and finished the game with just two hits.

The pitching wasn’t the only thing that was working for the #2 ranked Diamond Dogs. The freshmen bats were giving the opposing pitching all sorts of headaches.

Colby May went 3-for-4 with four RBI to lead Georgia offensively. The freshman from Guyton, Ga., was a triple shy of the cycle.

Another freshman, Johnathan Taylor added two hits and scored three runs. He had three stolen bases, just one shy of the school record set by Rodney Bellamy against Westminster in 1980.

What a great night for the Diamond Dogs and what a great day for the entire Bulldog Nation. Why can’t they all be like this?
