A common baseball term that refers to a hit by a batter that gets him to second base without any fielding errors.
A double is similar to a single, where the batter gets to first base, but better. It is also similar to the hit that gets the batter to third base, which is known as a triple. A hit that gets the player all the way around the bases to home plate is a "home run," or HR. The hit contributes to raising a player's bating avg and may appear as 2B in baseball stats.
