That's what I was getting at in my first post way back on page one.
NFHS rule 5-1-1j tells us that the ball is dead on an intentional drop.
Up until this year, that rule had wording at the end to the effect that an infield fly is the exception to the rule. It looks like they botched the printing in the 2008 rule book.
Compare this same rule in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 books. You'll see three different versions of the same rule, each stating the same thing with different wording.
The editorial change is highlighted in the 2007 book, then apparently mangled in the 2008 version.
