Move home to make contact (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

touch base

'make contact' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'move home' is the wordplay.
'move' becomes 'touch' (touching is a kind of moving).
'home' becomes 'base'.
'touch'+'base'='TOUCH BASE'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for touch base that I've seen before include "get in contact!" , "Report back briefly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
