too late to call infield fly?
Hypothetical situation:
Bases loaded with none out. Batter hits a high fly ball that appears to be headed for the outfield. Suddenly a gust of wind blows it back into the infield. The umpires don't react quickly and the ball lands near the shortstop. The shortstop picks up the ball and starts a home-to-third double play. The offensive team complains that this should have been called an infield fly.
Can the umpires call "infield fly" after the fact (declaring the batter out and returning the runners to their bases)?
