I believe the answer is:

bat

(Other definitions for bat that I've seen before include "Nocturnal flier" , "Cricket implement or flying mammal" , "The cricketer wields it" , "Night-flying mammal" , "Wooden implement for cricket" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Newsday and the New York Times.
