Speaking ASA
Bottom 7th, score tied at 8-8. Bases loaded, one out.
High pop-up toward F6. Umpire rules "infield fly". F6 is set up to catch the ball, but loses it in the sun at the last second. F6 covers his head for protection and the ball lands behind him as all runners break for the next base. However, there is backspin on the ball which causes it to come back and hit R2's leg while on his way to 3B, but prior to R1 crossing the plate.
What's your call?
