A hit making one embarrassed (7)

I believe the answer is:

abashed

'one embarrassed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a hit' is the wordplay.
'hit' becomes 'bashed' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'bashed'='ABASHED'

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for abashed that I've seen before include "shamed" , "Had base (anag.)" , "Made ashamed" , "Confounded" , "'Self-conscious, embarrassed (7)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
