No one in jeopardy. I'd let the non call stand.
And then when the defense asks you why that wasn't an infield fly you tell them...?!?
Oh, the usual BS... fly ball behind the pitcher, blowing in the wind, too low, or just the generic "in my judgment..."

Actually, what I have told them before when I did not judge a fly to be catchable with ordinary effort (i.e. a legitimate non-call) was, "The IFR is there to protect the offence, coach, not give an unearned out to the defense."
