What does BUNT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To hit a pitched baseball lightly and deliberately, without swinging the bat fully, so that it travels only a short distance.
A batter chooses to bunt rather than swing normally in order to place the ball just past the pitcher or along a baseline, making it hard to field quickly and often allowing a base runner to advance. The same word also names a fungal disease of wheat, a much older and unrelated sense.
