Can a popped bunt be considered an infield fly?

[Mountaincoach]

NFHS. I wasn't there. Just heard about this one that happened last night, so the details may not be exactly right. No outs. Runners on first and second. Batter squared to bunt and popped a bunt up between pitcher and 3rd that was not caught. Nobody was able to get a glove on the ball. Both runners advanced successfully. The batter was safe at 1st. After the play, the PU declared an infield fly and called the batter out. Can a popped bunt ever be considered an infield fly?

Bunt can never be an iff.

And even if caught, or the runners are played on.

I looked it up before I posted the question. I just wanted to confirm with you guys in case there was some crazy exception. A friend of mine asked me to post the question here.

A bunt or line drive can never be an Infield Fly.
The PU should have known that.

Can you have an infield fly if nobody is near enough to catch it?

Well yeah considering I said it fell between the mound and 3rd base well within the infield. Definitely an area where an infielder should make the catch with reasonable effort. Definitely not a judgement call out in the grass.
