safe hit

Nothing, was the reply, only Im benched because I didnt make a safe hit.

If successful this play results in a safe hit, while the runner not infrequently makes, not only second, but third-base as well.

A safe hit into the outfield would bring the man on third to the plate with the winning run.

Following that came a safe hit which took the batter to first and allowed Clink to slide in with the first run.

The first man at bat reached first base on a safe hit to mid-field.
