Lye mixed with water and clay, when dry, will produce a geoploymer. The lye solution converts the silica content of the clay into a silicate. AKA waterglass. When the mass I'd dried, the mass will harden into a stone.

it will eat up the dirt.
When lye is mixed with water, a chemical reaction occurs that generates heat and releases hydrogen gas. This reaction creates a highly alkaline solution that can be corrosive and should be handled with care.
mix lye, water, and fat in large pot. heat and stir. you will get soap.

Clay can be cleaned by gently wiping it with a damp cloth or sponge to remove dust and dirt. For tougher stains, you can mix mild soap with water and gently scrub the clay surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the clay.
To mix oil with lye solution after they have been combined, slowly pour the lye solution into the oil while stirring continuously. This process is called saponification, where the lye reacts with the oils to create soap. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches a light trace, which is a thin custard-like consistency.
mix clay with water
To make a basic compound using lye, mix the lye (sodium hydroxide) with water to create a sodium hydroxide solution. Lye is a strong base that dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions, making the solution basic. Remember to handle lye with caution as it is highly corrosive.
When you mix clay and sand, the clay particles fill in the spaces between the sand particles, resulting in a mixture with improved workability and strength compared to using each material alone. This mixture is commonly used in construction for making bricks, ceramics, and pottery due to its balanced properties.
Let's start by defining dirt. Clay is dirt, particularly if you live in a state like Ohio where most of the soil contains a lot of clay. If I take a sample in my back yard it's mostly clay. I suspect you live in a state like Florida where most of the soil is very sandy, so dirt to you is more sandy. All infield mix contains some amount of clay. We like to keep it in the 30 to 40 percent range. A lot of fields use a mix that is has to much clay, and that makes them very hard. The reason for having clay in the mix is to keep the surface firm, and allow the ball to bounce correctly. If the baseball dirt is to sandy the ball stops to quickly, and it makes for a boring game. When you say clay you might also be asking about the course material that many field have on top that is normally red. That is brick dust, calcined clay, limestone, or shale. These materials keep infield surface loose in dry weather, and provide better footing after a rain. I'll include a link to my page. I talk about all these things in great depth there.
for a quick fix in between games fill hole with water mix in som dirt until you have a clay consistincy bat down add a little more dirt pat again then smoth over with fresh dirt rake and done.
