Try for a hit (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bat

'try for a hit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for bat that I've seen before include "Small flying mammal, may be vampire" , "Nocturnal flier" , "Flutter (eyelids)" , "Nocturnal mouselike mammal" , "The cricketer wields it" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
