misfielded
Dropped the grounder
Misfielded is the past tense of misfield, meaning to handle a ball badly in cricket or baseball—dropping a catch, fumbling a grounder, or throwing wildly.
The error typically allows runners to advance or batters to reach base: He misfielded the grounder and the runner scored from second.
