Get runs singly (5)

I believe the answer is:

reach

'get' is the definition.
(I know that reach is a type of get)

'runs singly' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'singly' becomes 'each' (I've seen this in another clue).
'r'+'each'='REACH'

(Other definitions for reach that I've seen before include "Arrive at - stretch of river" , "Attain - make contact with" , "Extent of influence" , "Arrive at a point" , "Grasp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
