A go-ahead homerun is any homerun that is hit at any given time in the ball game that gives their team the lead. Whether a team is down by the score of 2-1, and someone hits a 2-run homerun, then that player hit a go-ahead homerun to put their team up 3-2.

"Cool.. but they would have to win for it to be considered go ahead right?"

No, not exactly. There is no such statistic as a go-ahead homerun. When someone mentions that a player hit a go-ahead homerun, they are just simply referring to the fact that that player put their team ahead in the game by at least one run via homerun at any given time during the game.

"ex. braves down 4-6 to the marlins. ___ hits a 3 run homer. marlins never come back. therefore _____ hit the go-ahead homer."

Correct. ____ hits a 3-run homer to put the Braves ahead by one run. ____ has hit the go-ahead homer. You could also say that ____ has just scored the go-ahead run because that run is what put their team ahead.

"braves down 4-6. ____ hits a three run homer. marlins come back to take the lead, 8-7. this happened when &&& hit a sac fly and 2 runners came in. so &&& is credited with what and ___ does not have a go-ahead homer."

Like I said before, the go-ahead homerun, or go-ahead anything for that matter, is simply referred to as the go-ahead run at any given point during the game. In this case, ____ still has hit the go-ahead homerun to put the Braves in the lead earlier in the game. &&& would simply be credited with a sacrifice fly and 2 RBI to put the Marlins in the lead. You could also say that he hit the go-ahead sac fly or that the runner who scored the 8th run has scored the go-ahead run.

"Go-ahead" is just a saying when one team takes the lead at any given point during the ballgame. There is no such statistic as a go-ahead anything if that's what you're trying to understand. It's not like hockey when one scores the game winning goal (GWG), which is probably one of the most worthless stats in all of professional sports, but that is another topic of discussion on its own.

So "go-ahead" is used by broadcasters or anyone else when they want to explain that one team went ahead at any given time during a game.
