There's a lingo problem here.
Hit-and-run is a specific term used in the US where a runner will take off as if he's stealing. Most times, this runner does not have the speed to steal, so the batter has an obligation to swing at the pitch in order to put it into play.
Usually, the hit-and-run is designed to take advantage of the the hole created when F4 or F6 cover second.
It is REALLY run-and-hit, but that's not what we call it here. Saying hit-and-run and meaning hit-and-then-run would confuse most, if not all Americans that know baseball.
