'pitched' is the definition.

Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'one in an outhouse' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'an outhouse' becomes 'shed' (a shed is an outside building).
'i' placed into 'shed' is 'SHIED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
