Balk

Balk, also baulk, in baseball, is an illegal move made by a pitcher that may deceive a base runner. On a pool or billiard table, balk is an area in which play is restricted in some way. Balk is also a ridge left unplowed between furrows, probably by mistake. A roughly squared timber beam is also called a balk.
