Giants Sweep the A’s

Posted on May 23, 2011 by Mike

Oakland fans may have left their hearts in San Francisco, but Giants fans brought their brooms to AT&T Park to celebrate a sweep of the series against the A’s. The Giants won it in the bottom of the 11th when Emmanuel Burriss hit a sharp single to right to score Darren “The Bullet” Ford (see it here).

Walk-Off Hit


For the Giants it was their 7th walk-off win this year. I was at the game today and it was good to see a sold out ballpark (42,288) for great baseball between two competitive rivals. The Giants are now 8 games above 500 (27-19), while the A’s fall to three games under at 22-25.
