The Diamond Dogs relied on excellent platoon pitching to win their fourth game straight by defeating the Blue Hose of Presbyterian at Foley Field in Athens.

“Pitching was the key,” said Georgia head coach David Perno. “Tanner threw the ball well, and kept it down. He did a great job funneling the ball through the strike zone.”

While the pitching was dominant the bats weren’t exactly dormant.

Freshman Zach Cone went 3-for-5 with a triple and an RBI to lead the Bulldogs (4-0), and Colby May and Rich Poythress each homered.

The Dogs will face off against Presbyterian again tomorrow afternoon at Foley Field. First pitch is at 4:00 p.m.
