Goal of a squeeze bunt, for short

RBI

This stat is often earned when a runner scores due to a well-placed bunt, especially in close games where every run counts.

A squeeze bunt is a play where a batter gently taps the ball to let a runner score from third base. The goal is to drive that runner in, which earns the batter an "RBI" (run batted in). The clue uses "for short" to hint at the abbreviation instead of the full term.
