It doesn't sound like it was ordinary effort on this play.

The standard on an infield fly is not whether the ball
IS caught (or uncaught) with an ordinary effort, rather, if it
COULD be caught with an unordinary effort.
The fact that the fielders convert what SHOULD be a routine play into something needlessly difficult should not invalidate the fact that it is an infield fly.
