BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.(AP) — Tommy Beecher threw three touchdown
passes and Mike Brown rushed for two scores to help Liberty pull

Runnin’ Bulldogs lead.
After the first half was tied on three occasions, Liberty took
the lead for good at 30-28 on the third of Matt Bevins’ three
straight field goals with 3:26 left in the third quarter.
Liberty sealed the win with three touchdowns, including
Demetrius Ward’s 18-yard fumble return.
Beecher was 23-for-32 for 337 yards for the Flames, who had 510
yards of offense.
Stan Doolittle went 25-for-42 for 221 yards and one touchdown
for Gardner-Webb (5-5, 2-3).
