Auburn pitcher Cameron Keshock hits the transfer portal

Keshock is hitting the transfer portal after spending two seasons on the Plains.

Auburn baseball’s roster has been going through a number of changes since the end of its 2024 campaign, one that was very forgetful for the team to say the least. Many players have come and gone through the transfer portal, and the Tigers had a recent move that was made today.

Relief pitcher [autotag]Cameron Keshock[/autotag] is on his way out of the program after just two years on the Plains, leaving after having just minimal outings on the mound.

In his two years with Auburn, Keshock recorded just 8 1/3 innings of work out of the bullpen in 10 appearances. His sophomore season saw him throw 5 1/3 innings, giving up six earned runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts and three walks. He posted 10.13 earned average for the year as well.

His best outing of the season came in the Tigers’ May 7 win at Georgia Tech, where he threw two full innings, giving up no runs on one hit, while walking one and striking out four.

Keshock’s departure is the latest to come out of the Auburn pitching staff since Zach Crotchfelt entered the portal and committed to Texas Tech in June.

While those two are the only pitchers to have left the program, the Tigers have added two in their place with [autotag]Mason Koch[/autotag] and [autotag]Samuel Dutton[/autotag]. Nevertheless, head coach [autotag]Butch Thompson[/autotag] is still looking for major improvements to the pitching staff next season.

Recap: Belyeu’s big day lifts Auburn to midweek win over Georgia Tech

The Auburn outfielder delivered the final blow by crushing a three-run homer in the 9th inning of Auburn’s 7-2 win over Georgia Tech on Tuesday.

Auburn baseball fell victim to another long ball by one of the NCAA’s top power hitters, Drew Burress, early in Tuesday’s game with Georgia Tech.

However, Burress’ 21st home run of the season would only be a minor storyline as the Tigers managed to slide out of the flats with a 7-2 win over the Yellow Jackets on Tuesday at Ross Chandler Stadium in Atlanta.

Following his 1st inning home run, Burress recorded his second, and ultimately final, run of the game on a single in the 3rd inning to score Vahn Lackey and extend Georgia Tech’s lead to 2-0. Auburn went on to score seven unanswered runs to secure the win.

Auburn’s scoring surge began in the 4th inning when [autotag]Cade Belyeu[/autotag] hit a sacrifice fly deep enough to score [autotag]Ike Irish[/autotag] to cut the deficit to 2-1. A pair of long balls in the 5th inning by [autotag]Eric Guevara[/autotag] and [autotag]Cooper Weiss[/autotag] and a fielding error allowed Auburn to jump ahead, 4-2.

Belyeu struck again in the 9th inning. His three-run blast off of Georgia Tech’s Mason Patel would be the final blow and would lift Auburn to the 7-2 victory.

Auburn’s ability to overcome early adversity played a role in the win, but it’s defensive performance can not go unnoticed. Tiger outfielders Chris Stanfield and Cade Belyeu robbed Georgia Tech of a pair of two-run home runs that could have ultimately changed the tone of the game. Stanfield took a two-run homer away from Mike Becchetti in the 1st inning, and would later throw out Drew Burress at home in the 3rd inning. Both plays, if successful, would have given the Yellow Jackets a 3-0 lead.

Not only did Belyeu score the final runs of the game, but he took away a two-run home run away from Georgia Tech’s Vahn Lackey in the bottom of the 9th to preserve the lead.

[autotag]Ben Schorr[/autotag] recorded the win on the mound for Auburn by providing two innings of relief and allowing one hit. [autotag]Christian Herberholz[/autotag] closed out the game by striking out two batters over the final two innings. In between Schorr and Herberholz’s outings, [autotag]Cameron Keshock[/autotag] struck out four batters while walking one batter and allowing a hit in two innings of work.

Auburn baseball will continue its SEC schedule this weekend by facing Missouri on the road. The opening game of the series begins Friday at 6 p.m. CT.
