Agree with all of the above. It wasn't a bunt or a line drive, so you can't wave it off as a mis-call. We as umps have to make this judgment without the benefit of seeing where the ball lands first. If you had an infield fly when it was at the apex, it's still an infield fly when it comes down, even if it's in the grass.
It makes much more sense to stay with the call in the moment, which means the offensive coach might be mad at you, than to reverse yourself and get both coaches thinking that you're a waffler.
