If you, the umpire, rule that the catcher (an infielder) could and should make this play with ordinary effort, then it's an IFF.
My question - what happened with the runners during all this time?
Also - given the spin that accompanies a ball hit high and slightly back, it seems very odd it would bounce forward - are you sure it didn't hit the backstop at all.
