sacrifice hit
Advances the runner
A sacrifice hit is a baseball play where a batter deliberately makes an out to advance a baserunner, typically by bunting.
The batter "sacrifices" their at-bat for the team's benefit.
Also called a sacrifice bunt.
A sacrifice fly, which scores a runner from third, is a related but distinct play.
