walking off

Exiting on foot

Walking off is leaving on foot, usually abruptly or in response to something: She got angry and just walked off.

In sports, to walk off is to leave the field, sometimes in protest or after an injury.

A walk-off hit in baseball wins the game by driving in the deciding run, walking the opposing team off the field.
