1931 Capital Times (Madison, Wisconsin) 11 Mar. 15/4 On the hand [of bridge] illustrated in yesterday's article, defense was able to halt the ‘suicide squeeze’, but on this hand the defense is absolutely helpless.

1948 F. Osborn How's your Bridge Game? 157 Declarer makes three no-trump by a suicide squeeze, deliberately letting East run his long suit so West will be squeezed.

1964 R. L. Frey & A. F. Truscott Official Encycl. Bridge 535/2 Suicide Squeeze, a squeeze inflicted by a defender on his partner. (But as this name is hardly accurate, it is called by some the Cannibal Squeeze.)

2017 Daily Press (Newport, Va.) (Nexis) 25 Mar. c2 This produces a classic suicide squeeze, in that if West cashes all his spades, East succumbs to pressure in diamonds and clubs.

2. Baseball and Softball. A play in which a runner at third base starts running towards home plate while the ball is being pitched, and the batter attempts to bunt the ball.

1937 Pop. Mech. June (Advertising section) 146 a/2 In the squeeze play, the batter, after giving the runner the pre-arranged signal, lays down a bunt and the latter starts for home. This maneuver may be divided into two classes, the safety and the suicide squeeze.

1955 P. Richards Mod. Baseball Strategy xi. 129 The ‘suicide-squeeze’, which has the runner going home on the pitch, is absolutely certain to work—if the batter bunts the ball on the ground.

2014 J. Kendall & L. Judge Throwback viii. 217 If the defense sniffs out a suicide squeeze and pitches out, the suicide squeeze looks bad.
