Let's try a few more, t2nyval. With your new-found knowledge of the infield fly rule, how would you respond to the following?
1: Bases loaded, one out. Batter hits a high fly ball, umpire calls the infield fly. R3 (The runner from third base) and R2 take off right away, but R1 stays close to first. The ball drops to the ground; R3 has reached the plate, R2 is on third, and R1 and BR are both on first base. F1 (the pitcher) picks up the ball and throws to second. F6 tags second with the ball, then throws to F3, who tags both "runners" on first base.
2: Bases loaded, one out. Batter hits a high fly ball, umpire calls the infield fly. All runners stay near their bases. The ball is missed by F3 in the shallow infield grass. It falls untouched to the ground in the grass, then rolls into foul ground. Runners then start going, and everybody moves up a base before F2 can retrieve the ball in time to throw anybody out.
3: Bases loaded, two outs. Batter hits a high fly ball. R1 gets a late jump from first. The ball drops untouched to the ground near F4, who flips to F6 at 2B for the apparent force out.
OK guys, lets give t2nyval a chance to answer before jumping all over these "easy" ones.
