Lace is a fabric, but in that example sentence it sounds like you may mean race?

Lace is a more descriptive verb describing exactly how Beltran hit his two-run single. I did not watch this game but I'm assuming they mean he hit the ball perfectly into the right field for a two-run single.
Verbs like these are often used in sports broadcasts because they can better describe an action.

@SkyK Yeah thanks. I think this word is too much for me now. I would just say "He hit the ball to the right field" for now. :)
thank you skyK for taking your time and kind explanation. To whom would i ask this!?

@Chu-Young: No problem! I don't always know what the verbs mean because the broadcasters will make them up! I also think it would be easier to say "He hit the ball to right field."
