Scratch teams tied in ballpark? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estimated

'in ballpark?' is the definition.

'scratch teams tied' is the wordplay.
'scratch' is an anagram indicator.
'teams'+'tied'='teamstied'
'teamstied' with letters rearranged gives 'ESTIMATED'.

(Other definitions for estimated that I've seen before include "Worked out" , "Judged roughly" , "Calculated approximately" , "Rough" , "Approximated, reckoned" .)
