ump calls infield fly, but it is not

So since the PU f'ed up, s/he now has to fix it. If the ball wasn't caught, put the BR on 1B and advance any forced runners. If the ball WAS caught, then none of this matters, as the defense still made the out, and the BR's actions are irrelevant.

This happened to me a couple weeks ago. I called an IFF in a women's league where they don't use the rule. R1 and R2 stopped running, the ball dropped and the defense threw the ball to third. I awarded one base to all runners.

Was that because you judged the mis-call caused R1 to not reach 3rd in time?
