Morphology

outhit = hit (transparent) = out + hit

Formed by the productive English prefix 'out-' meaning 'to surpass' plus the verb 'hit', so the sense 'get more hits than' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Outhit is made of out- meaning 'more than' and hit, just like in outdo and outrun, so in sports it means to have more hits than your opponent.
