A Good Homecoming For Buster Posey

Last night Buster Posey, a native of Leesburg, came home to Georgia to play against the Atlanta Braves.  Although his career numbers were not that good at Turner Field ( 1 for 11 ), he was able to turn it around and keep his hot hitting streak alive going 3 for 5 with two doubles and five RBIs.  He lead the way for the Giants producing more than half of their 9 runs ending the Braves seven game win streak.

Posey started off the night for the Giants hitting a RBI double to left field in the top of the First and in the Third inning, he hit a single to left field scoring another runner.  The big at-bat came in the fourth with the bases loaded, he hit a double to deep left center clearing the bases.  

In his past five games he is batting 9 for 17, a .529 avg with nine RBIs and four extra base hits.  With every hit he gets he is scoring a base runner.  The Giants are doing a great job of getting on base and then producing hits with runners in scoring position.  That is why they are now three games ahead of the Dodgers in the NL West.
