Upset batter using ski transporter (6)
I believe the answer is:
sledge
This could be a double definition.
'upset batter' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'ski transporter' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'using' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sledge that I've seen before include "Transport on snow - hammer" , "Vehicle mounted on runners" , "In the field, abuse" , "one could go downhill fast" , "Try rattling opposing players" .)
