Leesburg served up a triple-header tonight as three hometown guys represented Lee County at the Major League Baseball All Star Game.

Before the game, American Idol Phillip Phillips sang his single "Home" as a tribute to tornado victims. Then Country music star Luke Bryan performed the national anthem.     

And San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey started for the National League team.
Folks watching the game at Buffalo Wild Wings told us all three make South Georgia proud.

Lilly Flowers says, "We are a small town, and to have three people representing us on such a national level is flattering."

Phillips and Bryan are both touring. Bryan will perform in Toronto Thursday. Phillips will join the American Idol tour in St. Louis tomorrow.
