In the sport of baseball, a bunt was a type of batted ball which was deliberately hit with minimal force by a batter. The ball will fall into the infield, down the baseline, between the pitcher and the catcher, resulting in the fielding side throwing out the batter and permitting a runner to advance. There was a sign for bunt, which was communicated between team members of a team.
During the game between the Niners and Logicians in 2375, after Rom accidentally bunted a ball, Nog scored a run for the Niners. (DS9: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite")
According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 109, after the game, Rom was considered by Benjamin Sisko, who coached the Niners, as the Master of the Bunt.
