Bears Get Hard-Earned Win
Tristan Copeland left his imprint on the 4-3 Chicago win against the San Francisco 49ers. Copeland, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2002 draft, went 3 for 5 with 3 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs. Chicago reliever Devin Mendoza picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. John Rowland took the loss. The win puts Chicago at 5-6.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Copeland hit a fastball from John Rowland for a run-scoring single. The Bears, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Copeland said.
