Chicago Bears (12-10) 0 2 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 5 7 3

Down to Defeat Goes Chicago, 12-5
The performance of Ramon Lobaton proved critical in helping Dallas beat Chicago, 12-5. The Cowboys left fielder was 4 for 5 with 2 triples, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Dallas reliever Eddie Perez got the win, raising his record to 2-0. Devin Mendoza was tagged with the loss. Dallas goes to 12-10.

The Bears had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Cowboys going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 32-year old center fielder Steve Benson came to the plate. Benson hit a 2-run double on a 2-2 curveball from Chicago hurler Devin Mendoza. It was Benson's 4th double of the year.

"Ramon raked," said Dallas manager Robbie Monroy.
