The Carolina Panthers trumped the Chicago Bears, 8-6, in 12 innings. Carolina first baseman Rich Mathis was impactful. He was 2-4 with 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The Panthers improved their record to 20-13 with the win over Chicago.

Shane Baker came through with a big-time hit for Carolina. The center fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to give his team the lead, 8-6. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It took some blood and sweat, but we got what we were after," said Panthers manager Tim Breidinger.
