I know and have read most of the required parts to an infield fly being called, but here is a scenario I need help with...
Very windy day where wind blows from CF into H. A routine pop up behind the pitching circle could end up at home plate or even behind. Bases loaded and less then 2 outs... Pop up towards 2B but blows back in towards Home, Home Plate umpire calls INFIELD FLY. Here are the scenarios:
1) Ball drifts 15 ft in front of Home up the 1B line, no effort from the infielders to catch the ball as they look at each other for someone to catch it. Ball lands in fair ground and then rolls foul...
2) Ball drifts into foul ground and again is not caught
3) Ball drifts and goes over the dugout, out of play
***Remember the Home plate umpire already called INFIELD FLY... 1) was this correct or shoud he/she waited to see where the ball would end up due to the wind, even though they are to call it at the ball's highest point and 2) can the runners still advance at their own risk?
