Asked Carson Myers what it meant to pitch for #Auburn today, let alone have such a stellar performance. "It was awesome. This is such a prestigious school in baseball, and to be able to put on this uniform is just awesome." Myers' dad, Matt Myers, was Auburn's pitching coach…

M8 | Both of #Auburn's pitchers today — Carson Myers and Christian Herberholz — have both struck out a side today, with Herherbolz doing so in the eighth.
E7 | #Auburn strands a pair of runners in that frame. We did see a wild pitch hitting the new brick backstop at Plainsman Park play out for the first time. Kicked right back to EKU's catcher as Mason Maners started taking off. He got back to third in time.
B7 | Mason Maners hits a triple with one out. It's #Auburn's fourth of the season. Ike Irish is going to try and knock him in, but first, EKU makes a pitching change — it's seventh arm today — to LHP Bradley Stewart.
E6 | EKU SS Santiago Peralta just made an inning-saving play for the force at second, nixing what would've been Deric Fabian's fourth hit today. Pair of runners left on for #Auburn. Tigers are turning to RHP Christian Herberholz after a gem of a debut from Carson Myers. Myers'…

E5 | Three runners left on for #Auburn, as Bobby Peirce grounds out right to third base. It'll be Carson Myers starting the sixth on the mound. If a pitching change occurs here, FYI that Christian Herberholz, Parker Carlson and Dylan Watts trotted out to the bullpen earlier. https://t.co/Q9iswtgl7i
B5 | #Auburn 7, E. Kentucky 0 Have a day, Deric Fabian. The Florida transfer is now 3-3 with 4 RBIs. He just got a 2-RBI single with the bases loaded.
E3 | #Auburn 5, E. Kentucky 0 Deric Fabian was hitless coming into today. But he's found his way with two hits, the latest of which was a two-out RBI single.
Christian Hall's homer is his first hit this year. Deric Fabian follows it up with his first hit this year. Now Javon Hernandez steps in with, still in search of his first hit. Been a big frame for #Auburn's new guys. Let's see if Hernandez keeps it going.
M1 | Caron Myers nearly goes three up, three down in his first frame as an #Auburn Tiger. Aside from a four-pitch with two outs, Myers gets a ground out, strikeout and another ground out.
Howdy 🤠 from Plainsman Park at the end of a busy weekend. No. 15 #Auburn looks for a series sweep over Western Kentucky at the top of the hour. Here's the lineup Butch Thompson and Co. are rolling with: 1) 2B Hernandez 2) LF Maners 3) C Irish 4) RF Peirce 5) 1B McMurray 6) CF…
