remember, fielder is standing on the outfield right behind 2B, playing "in" as a rover. based upon where he stands? where he makes the play?
if no IF is declared by you or your partner, do you allow either team to request it be invoked per the new ASA rules of IF in effect even if no umpires call it?

as yourself this question: "can this supposedly 5th infielder let the ball fall and quickly get a 'cheap' double play?"
if yes, infield fly
if no, rule accordingly...
