Apparently not. You can find Bob's ruling in the BRD, Section 258: Fitzpatrick: The umpires must insure the intent of the rule is enforced: They must protect the offensive team from an "undeserved" double play.That could require a belated "infield fly" ruling and revocation of subsequent action. Fitz: "Above all, do not allow a double play that should not occur." The NCAA interpretation is the same. (Thurston, phone call to cc, 2/29/00)
Carl, I've understood that, but it isn't the portion of Bob's reply I was questioning.
"In OBR, if the defense gets zero or one outs, the play stands. "
I don't find a printed reference for this. Or is it just "understood?"

It's understood - as I understand it. The ONLY circumstance when an umpire would fix a botched infield fy call (it's an IF but not declared) occurs when the defense gets a double play.
So, if they score zero or one out....
