This was one of those little bloop ?hits? just over the pitchers head landing behind him...not very high, but out of his reach and not enough time for the pitcher to get back there.
Personally, I thought that the INF Fly call was bad as I didn't think anyone could catch the ball...add that to the fact that none of us ever heard the plate umpire call INF Fly (probably causing the confusion for the runner)...we only learned he called it AFTER the fact...but again, I'm really more interested in whether the resulting calls were correct if you assume the ball was catchable. I don't think I have a clear answer to that yet. I've read the rule book and can't really figure it out. Probably need to go to the case books, but I don't have any (just a fan).
