knock in
Bat a run
To knock in is to drive something inward by striking it, especially a nail or peg: He knocked in the last few nails with a hammer.
In baseball and cricket, knocking in runs means driving them home—getting runners to score through your at-bat.
A knock-in is also a type of financial option that activates only when the underlying asset reaches a specified price.
