I believe the answer is:

bail

(Other definitions for bail that I've seen before include "Surety - part of wicket - scoop" , "Item resting on stumps" , "Remove water from -- part of wicket" , "Money paid for temporary release" , "Conditional release" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Universal.
