"Former Bearcats pitcher Scott Diamond earned a win with two shutout innings against the New York Yankees in an exhibition game Thursday afternoon in Tampa, Fla. Diamond, a southpaw who’s under contract in the Atlanta Braves organization and is currently playing for Team Canada, allowed no hits and two walks in the 6-0 victory.

Diamond struck out new Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira and Angel Berroa.

Diamond, from Guelph, Ontario, went 5-3 with a 3.45 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 12 starts for the Bearcats in 2007, his final season with the team. In 2008, Diamond’s first professional season, he went 15-3 between Class A teams.

Joba Chamberlain started opposite Diamond and took the loss. The game was Team Canada’s final exhibition before starting play in the World Baseball Classic. "
