Two Infield Fly Situations
#1: With no outs and R2 on 2nd base, B1 is hit by the pitch. B2 then hits a high pop-up that should be easily caught by the shortstop. Unfortunately, both umpires fail to call the infield fly (although it is very clearly an infield fly). The shortstop drops the ball, but recovers and throws to 3rd base, where the bag is tagged. At the end of playing action, R2 is standing on 3rd, B1 is standing on 2nd, B2 is standing on first, and both coaches are very unhappy. Now what?
#2: With R1 on first base and R2 on second base and no out, the umpires signal to each other that an infield fly is in effect. The next pitch to B1 is wild and R2 advances to 3rd base. On the next pitch, B1 hits a high pop up to the shortstop, which should be easily catchable, so both umpires call and signal for an infield fly. However, with runners on 1st and 3rd, the infield fly is not in effect. The shortstop drops the ball, R3 races home and is thrown out, R2 advances to 2nd base while B1 ends up at 1st base. The defensive coach wants B1 called out on the infield fly (Coach: “Ump, you called it, not me!”). The offensive coach wants R3 returned to 3rd base (Coach: “Ump, your call confused my runner!”). What is the call?
