I don't, won't and never have done softball however, unless softball has some rule otherwise, baseball rules for an infield fly, NEVER, I repeat NEVER, apply to any type of line drive.

As already stated, a fielder intentionaly dropping a catch results in a dead ball and runners return. Of course there is nothing to prevent the fielder from letting the ball fall to the ground or hit him first and then making a play, but getting the right bounce out of the ball afterwards may not be as easy as one would think.

Take the out.
