Sentence with force is a hit (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

line drive

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a hit' is the definition.
(I know that line drive is a type of fly)

'sentence with force' is the wordplay.
'sentence with' becomes 'line' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'force' becomes 'drive' (driving is a kind of forcing).
'line'+'drive'='LINE DRIVE'

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
