I'm sure Mr. Mark T. DeNucci Sr. could tie this in from an engineering point of view using laws of physics and probable trajectories... But consider this statement...
The IFR is in effect if the batted ball travels a greater distance vertically (Up) than it does horizontally (Out).... Or the ratio Up over Out must be equal to or greater than 1. There are probably alot of holes in this statement... But it seems like a possibilty...

And it would fit your scenario.... 8 ft. up is less than the 80 or so feet it travel out toward F6... 8 over 80 would only give us 0.1 and by definition no IFR.... GREAT CALL!!!!!
