Auburn ace Keegan Thompson was named co-SEC Pitcher of the Week following his dominant outing vs. Lipscomb, the SEC office announced Monday. LSU's Jared Poche was also recognized by the conference.
Thompson improved to 3-0 on Friday, firing seven shutout innings, allowing one hit and striking out five. He has yet to give up a run this season over 21 innings in three starts.
His scoreless streak of 21.0 innings equals the modern-era program mark set by Joe Beckwith in 1976.
In those 21 innings, Thompson has allowed just six hits and has struck out 11 batters. Opposing hitters are hitting .091 against the junior right-hander.
Thompson is now 10-2 in his career at Plainsman Park, and 9-1 vs. non-conference opponents.
Auburn will return to action Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m. as they host South Alabama at Plainsman Park.
