AUBURN, Ala. – Junior right-hander Keegan Thompson pitched six shutout innings as Auburn baseball shutout George Washington 9-0 Friday in Plainsman Park on Opening Day. It is Auburn’s seventh-straight opening day win since 2007.
“One day is not going to define or tell a story, but I thought our guys handled the baseball so well today, so clean,” head coach Butch Thompson said. “I don’t think we had a walk, but I may be wrong about that. I think Keegan walked the first guy of the sixth inning, but other than that he just shoved the ball in the strike zone.
