Leaves for base

Goes home is the third-person singular form of go home, meaning to return to one's residence or place of origin.

Beyond literal travel, it describes where something belongs or ends up: The trophy goes home with the winner.

In sports, a ball that goes home reaches home plate or the goal.

When someone goes home in a final sense, they die.
