Posada Slugs 4 HR Against Cardinals
Nothing could stop Elias Posada today -- certainly not the Johnson City Cardinals pitching staff.

The 23-year-old left fielder for the Washington (APP) Nationals sent 4 baseballs soaring out of Howard Johnson Field and made his name a part of history. Behind his barrage, the Nationals took a 22-3 win over the Cardinals.

"In the standings, a loss is just a loss, but this one was frustrating," Cardinals manager Julio Rivero said later. "He clobbered us."

Posada's dream game included 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 4 homers, 5 runs driven in and 5 runs scored.

"I know all the stories are going to be about me today, and that's OK," Posada told the press in the locker room after the game. "Next time, it'll be one of the other guys."

Elias Posada flied out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Craig Soole in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Craig Soole in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Heriberto Flores in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Morse in the 8th and walked in the 9th.

Posada's current batting average stands at .403 and he has chalked up 17 home runs and 33 RBIs.
