They quickly toss the ball to 2nd but there is no throw back to 1st. Hold on though! Apparently (according to the radio guys at least) the umps called the infield fly rule???

They left R1 at first, and called the BR out. Anybody see this play and know what the REAL call was?
Most likely they called the BR out for an intentionally dropped ball. Not a common call. Only the second time I've heard of it being called.
