Sac stands for sacrifice bunt.
A sac fly, short for sacrifice fly, is when a batter hits a fly ball that allows a runner on base to score. It is significant because it helps the team score a run without the batter getting a hit. This can impact the game by breaking a tie, extending a lead, or advancing a runner into scoring position.
In baseball, scoring position refers to when a baserunner is on second or third base. Being in scoring position increases the likelihood of a team scoring runs because it allows for easier advancement around the bases and more opportunities for the baserunner to score. Teams in scoring position are in a better position to capitalize on hits, sacrifices, and other scoring opportunities.
