English term or phrase: ground ball
"There was homicide, a ground ball."

I know that 'ground ball' is a term used in baseball, but it's fugirative in this context.

That's it! You must be right. I also posted this question to monolingual (EN>EN) ProZ members and someone said that it means "piece of cake" but it didn't seem to fit the context. The following sentence goes: "Some spic did it." Spic, I had to search to find out, means a Hispanic (offensive slang) - just in case you didn't know.

Thanks a lot, Fara!
