The Diamond Dawgs have been impressive this season, but no one may be as impressed as Arizona skipper Andy Lopez, according to this article in the Daily Wildcat. Lopez doesn't think the 'Cats played that bad in this past weekend's UGA sweep. It was a case of the Dawgs just playing much better. Lopez quipped that he hasn't "seen (an offense) like that in a long, long time."Lopez was especially enamored with Johnathan Taylor:
UA pitchers had a particularly difficult time containing freshman outfielder Johnathan Taylor. The speedy leadoff hitter went a combined 6-for-13 from the dish and scored seven runs.
"I would give the Golden Spikes award to (Johnathan) Taylor right now if I could," Lopez said.
For those who don't follow college baseball, the Golden Spikes is the baseball equivalent of the Heisman Trophy.
Lopez isn't a some uninitiated buffoon, either. He's led three different teams to Omaha, coached Brad Wilkerson to a Golden Spikes trophy, and won a national championship with Pepperdine in 1992.
