sac fly
Run-producing out
A sac fly—short for sacrifice fly—is a baseball play where a batter hits a fly ball caught for an out, but a baserunner scores by tagging up and advancing after the catch.
The batter sacrifices his at-bat to drive in a run.
He hit a sac fly to center field to tie the game.
