Bears Sneak By Falcons, 7-6
The Chicago Bears spoiled a good performance by Atlanta right fielder Sergio Zamorano, bumping off Atlanta, 7-6, at Georgia Dome. Zamorano was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Mark Schmidt picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Eric Jenkins suffered the loss. Atlanta, at 4-10, is off to a poor start in 2002.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jason Shipman? The Chicago first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Bears on top, 7-6. For the game, Shipman had 1 double and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"What a great win for our team," said a jubilant Gregg Bianchino, the Chicago manager.
