A "sacrifice" is a play in which the batter is out but not charged with an official appearance at bat because he had succeeded in putting a teammate further on the bases at the expense of his turn at bat. There are two types of "sacrifice": the "sacrifice hit" or "sacrifice bunt" in which the ball touches the ground before being caught, and the "sacrifice fly", an intended fly batted inside the infield. 3, record 1, English, - sacrifice

Il existe deux types de «sacrifice» : l'«amorti sacrifice» ou «coup retenu sacrifice» dans lequel la balle touche le sol avant le retrait du frappeur, et le «ballon sacrifice», («chandelle sacrifice» si très en hauteur), un coup retenu intentionnel capté sans que la balle n'ait touché le sol. Le générique «sacrifice» se rapporte le plus souvent au premier, la possibilité du second jeu étant plus rare. 6, record 1, French, - sacrifice
