Ball was closer to the pitcher (my opinion). SS was at normal depth (i.e. near OF grass). Contact was in base line between 2nd and 3rd. Ball dropped on grass behind pitcher on SS side...maybe halfway to inside of dirt cutout.
Plate umpire called INF Fly when ball went into air, field umpire called interference on runner as SS made attempt at ball.
To be totally honest, I thought the INF Fly call was a bad call which is probably what froze the runner...not a very catchable ball as it was just a bloop over pitchers head...but I'd like to ask the question as if the popup was catchable since the catchability of the ball is in reality my opinion.
This call did not ulitmately affect the outcome of the game...but at the time it very well could have.
