Question: Is R3 out for not retouching in time or does the defense have to make a tag play to put him out?
Any case book quotes that could clear this up for me would be grately appreciated. And BTW, I was the base ump in this sit. in the C position

Jim,
I assume the catch was made?
Then the runner left early, yes? Didn't tag up?
Calling "Infield Fly" is only a courtesy to the runner, no other special rule for leaving early.
When I was in LL majors, a Jim Cunnigham here in Michigan was the fastest pitcher I had ever wished I could see.
