Dead Ball - 5-1 : The ball becomes dead immediately when :
  • j. an infielder intentionally drops a fair fly, fair line drive or fair bunt in flight with at least first base occupied and with less than two outs.

  • I'm sure he means "let it drop untouched." And in FED, the batter is still going to be out if the umpires agree that the ball met the requirements for an infield fly. In FED, the situation determines what happens, not the declaration.

    But he's right, there could still be more than one out achieved in this situation.
