Posada Delivers Clutch At-Bat for St. Louis in Walk-Off Win
St. Louis Cardinals starter Miguel Batista was definitely locked-in. He led his team to a win over the New York Yankees, 2-1. The Cardinals bumped their record to 65-64 with this latest triumph.

St. Louis took a 2-1 lead on Jorge Posada's 6th home run of the season. The solo home run came off New York pitcher Bryan Eversgerd in the bottom of the tenth.

"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Posada said after the game.
