drive in

Verb

 * 1)  To hit the ball or reach base in such a way that a run scores.

Usage notes

 * Driving in a run usually refers to a situation where a run batted in is credited to the hitter. As well as hitting the ball into fair territory, a bases loaded walk or hit-by-pitch is considered a run batted in, but not a situation where the run scored is due to an error by the defense.
