The Chicago Cubs are in the midst of a four game series with the Florida Marlins.  The series began yesterday with Chicago taking the first game by a score of 6-3.  Well the Marlins wasted little time evening up the four game set, as they managed a 3-2 victory Friday.  Florida jumped to a 1-0 lead in the 3rd inning on a Josh Willingham double, but Chicago answered with a Geovany Soto solo home run to tie the game at 1-1.  Reed Johnson hit a home run in the bottom of the 5th inning to put Chicago ahead 2-1, only to have the Marlins tie the game at 2 in the 7th on a Jorge Cantu RBI double. But after all was said and done, it was pinch hitter Jeremy Hermida who hit the game winning home run in the top of the 9th inning, in which the Cubs failed to score as they went down in order to end the game.  On a side note, the former star of Notre Dame made his Cubs debut.  That is no other than Jeff Samardzija, well the former Irish wide receiver came in and got the first batter he faced to strikeout looking.  Samardzija finished the day with a stat line of 2 innings pitched, allowing 2 hits and 1 run while striking out 2.
