pitch up
Turn up somewhere
Pitch up means to arrive or show up, used chiefly in British English: He pitched up at the party around midnight.
The phrase suggests appearing somewhere, often casually or unexpectedly.
In cricket, a ball that pitches up lands closer to the batsman than expected, giving less time to react.
