Hits the highest score (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
top twenty
'hits' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'the highest score' is the wordplay.
'the highest' becomes 'top' (I've seen this before).
'score' becomes 'twenty' (synonyms).
'top'+'twenty'='TOP TWENTY'
