Okay, one out.

Batter pops up over shortstop. I get out from behind the plate, call "infield fly, batter's out" and point upward.

Two outs.

R2 was on the way to 3rd and R1 stayed. F6 throws to F4 who steps on bag.

Three outs.

I don't move (still have my arm up) and everyone (!) leaves the field.

Good for them.

After most of the kids were in the dugout, I pulled the opposing coaches aside and explained how the infield fly rule works and that there were only two outs.

This should be good...what did you explain to them?

I got blank stares (gotta love this level of LL).

Gotta love this level of umpire.

After explaining the rule to them, offensive coach asked if he can put his runners back out on the bases.

Heck, why not? After the call you made, he might as well try.
