Not a bad way to start a season...
Former Notre Dame All-American football star Jeff Samardzija made his OPENING DAY pitching debut for the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park in Pittsburgh against the Pirates -- and boy did he have a game!
The Cubs won the game 3 - 1.
How's this for a stat line:
- 8 innings pitched
- 2 hits
- 9 strikeouts
- 1 walk
- ZERO RUNS ALLOWED!
- VICTORY #1!
