Although I agree in principle that wind is a factor in determining whether a fly ball is catchable with ordinary effort, IMO a fly ball that lands on or near the plate is catchable with ordinary effort.
So F2's mistake in overrunning it on this play is NOT a factor, and I'm getting the out for IFF.
Probably as I say "IFF, the batter's out," and point fair, F1 will figure out that he's holding a live, batted ball.
