Dip out suddenly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bail

(Other definitions for bail that I've seen before include "Cross piece on wicket" , "Temporary release of an accused person on conditions" , "Remove water from -- part of wicket" , "Temporary release of the accused - wicket crosspiece" , "Money paid for temporary release" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
