ASA - It's still an infield fly.

Quote:
Rule 1: Definition - INFIELD FLY: A fair fly ball, not including a line drive or an attempted bunt which can be caught by an infielder, pitcher or catcher with ordinary effort when first and second or first, second and third bases are occupied with less than two outs.
It does not say that the ball has to first land in fair territory. It only says that it must be ruled a fair batted ball. It also says that it must be a fly ball that can be caught by any infielder with "ordinary effort," so if catching the ball requires extraordinary effort to do so, it's not IFF. "Ordinary effort" is left to the judgment of the HP umpire.

Runners may still advance at their own risk. If it's caught, runners must tag up just like any other caught fly ball. If it's not caught, runners can advance without tagging up.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
