Baseball walks-off Anderson to complete the sweep of Trojans

HICKORY, N.C.- With the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh in a tie game, Drew Beard laced a ball that landed just inside the right field line to give the Bears a 5-4 win and complete the weekend sweep of the Anderson Trojans. 

In the first game of the day, Matt Procopio went 4-4 at the plate and Jack Renaud threw three scoreless inning out of the bullpen to close out a 4-2 victory to earn his seventh save of the season. 

Procopio finished the double header with six hits, including a big three-run home run in the night cap.
