Squeeze Play

1. In base­ball, a play in which the bat­ter bunts to give a run­ner on third base a chance to reach home plate and score a run. Pri­mar­i­ly heard in US. The botched squeeze play led to the bat­ter and the run­ner being tagged out. No one was expect­ing a squeeze play when their star hit­ter went up to bat.
2. By exten­sion, a sit­u­a­tion in which a great deal of pres­sure is applied to some­one or some­thing in order to achieve a cer­tain out­come or goal.
