This rule can be called by the umpire after the play occurs. An infield fly rule must be called when the ball is in the air.
Once the umpire has made the call, the ball is dead and the base runners must return to their original bases. They cannot advance on the play.

Ball not dead. Batter out runners advance at their own risk even if the ball is dropped. Force no longer applies.
