Let's not jump too hard on bigsig - he admits he made the error.
However, coaches and players are still responsible for knowing the situation. In most games, with 2 outs, the coaches will have been reminding runners to run on a fly, and would be yelling run, run, run. I think the only player actually placed at jeopardy here is the batter. Infield fly is not a dead ball, so action after the umpire error should be taken into account.
I don't think I can answer what I would do without knowing what happened after the ball dropped. I can see protecting the batter... but if F4 made a play elsewhere successfully, there's nothing to fix. If F4 made NO play, I'd simply wait to see what happens.
