batters

Pounds with force

Batters is the plural of batter in its various senses.

In cooking, batters are liquid mixtures of flour, eggs, and milk used to coat foods before frying or as the base for pancakes and cakes.

In baseball and cricket, batters are the players who take their turn hitting the ball.

The verb batter means to strike repeatedly with force, so batters can also describe those who beat or pound something: The storm batters the coastline.
