Right fielder Aaron Anderson's ninth-inning double gave the Liberty Flames a 3-2 walk-off victory over the Duke Blue Devils, Tuesday evening at Worthington Field at Liberty Baseball Stadium.

With the score tied 2-2, second baseman Nathan Keeter at second and one out, Anderson ripped an 0-2 pitch down the right field line and into the corner to plate Keeter for the 3-2 win.

Liberty moves to 23-12 on the year. Duke drops to 16-21.
