hit and run

we were reading a children's book about a baseball game last night. it wasn't a great book; it was a fairly simple rhyming text that relied on terms my kids just don't know yet - "knuckleball," "fast pitch," etc.
one page began, "they will pitch, hit, and run."
sailor looked at me, concerned. "and they will get a time out," she said.
(what? oh, a time out. for hitting, of course. because that's what sailor gets, when she hits. a time out. :)
