49ers Victorious at Chicago, 8-5
Shemar Moncrief had a good game, but he could not keep the Chicago Bears from falling, 8-5, to the San Francisco 49ers at Soldier Field. The Chicago first baseman was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs in the loss. Picking up the win was Ben Hornberger. He went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits. The right--hander struck out 3 and walked 3. Earning his 3rd save of the year was Matt Rufener.

Ben Hornberger had a big grand slam home run for the 49ers in the top of the fifth inning. With San Francisco leading 4-2 and the bases loaded, he sized up a cutter from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Hector Garcia and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the 49ers on top, 8-2.

"Feels good to get the job done," Hornberger said after the game.

The Bears fall to 5-7 and continue their lackluster start in 2002.
