(Anchor) THE BEARS’ HOMESTAND ENDED ON A GOOD NOTE. U-N-C CONCLUDED THEIR FIVE-GAME HOMESTAND TUESDAY WITH A SEVEN-NOTHING WIN OVER METRO STATE. (vo) THE BEARS JUMPED OUT TO A TWO-NOTHING LEAD IN THE FIRST, AS JACK PAULEY DROVE IN THE FIRST RUN WITH AN R-B-I SINGLE.  DEAN LAWSON SCORED ON A WILD PITCH TO PLATE THE SECOND RUN. THAT SCORE HELD UNTIL THE SIXTH INNING WHEN THE BEARS TACKED ON SOME INSURANCE. BRETT MINNICK DROVE IN TWO WITH A SINGLE TO RIGHT, AND LAWSON DREW A BASES-LOADED WALK TO PUSH THE LEAD TO FIVE. ONE BRIGHT SPOT DURING THE HOMESTAND WAS COLE MALTESE, AND HE CONTINUED TO SWING THE BAT WELL. HIS SOLO HOME RUN IN THE SEVENTH INNING PUSHED THE LEAD TO SIX-NOTHING, AND ANOTHER BASES-LOADED WALK BROUGHT HOME THE SEVENTH RUN FOR THE BEARS.   (Anchor) THE SHUTOUT WAS U-N-C’S FIRST SINCE MAY OF LAST SEASON. WITH THE WIN, THE BEARS IMPROVE TO 22 AND 19 ON THE SEASON. U-N-C HEADS OUT OF STATE ONE LAST TIME THIS WEEKEND WITH A SERIES AT CHICAGO STATE.
