<P> In baseball , the squeeze play ( a.k.a. squeeze bunt ) is a maneuver consisting of a sacrifice bunt with a runner on third base . The batter bunts the ball , expecting to be thrown out at first base , but providing the runner on third base an opportunity to score . Such a bunt is uncommon with two outs because there is a significant chance that the batter would be thrown out at first base , ending the inning . Likewise , such an attempt is unlikely with two strikes because a bunt that is fouled off with two strikes is an automatic strike out . The squeeze play is said to have been invented during a college game at Yale University by Dutch Carter and George B. Case . </P>
