Four-bagger
A four-bagger is a home run, deriving from the idea that a batter who hits one will touch all four bags. The fourth bag in major league baseball is a plate rather than a bag, but then the other three bags are not true bags anymore either.
By extension, a three-bagger is a triple and a two-bagger is a double. The term "one-bagger" is not in usage.
