Marlins Score Late to Upend Cubs, 2-1
The Marlins had to overcome a fine performance from Chicago pitcher Mike Hampton to grab a 2-1 win at Wrigley Field. Hampton allowed 1 earned run over 7.2 innings. Bryan Harvey earned his 29th save in 35 chances. Florida leads the Federal League East Division by 5½ games.

The result might have been different for Florida, had it not been for Rondell White. The right fielder produced a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Marlins ahead, 2-1. For the game, White had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Winning is contagious," said White. "We're looking forward to the next game."
