Good point...
Thanks all, the rules not hard per se after it is ruled, I just got tired of the coaches, depending on whether or not it negated some of their runs trying to pull the fly vs. line drive card. It gets old, not so much in varsity where it is more clearcut but in lower levels where the girls just don't have the power to get it out of the infield.
But it does make the game go faster

Thanks again

7in60 you may have me there. I have never considered that soft flair that fails to meet the definition of a line drive (parallel) an infield fly but I lack any rule to sight. Just the way it was taught. Always open to learn.

NFHS definition of fly ball.

2-2-6 A fly ball is a batted ball that rises an appreciable height above the ground.

I would not consider a little flair hit to have met that definition.

I have...when it was 11-0 in the top of the first...1 out...bases loaded...the visiting team was halfway through their batting lineup for the second time...I think you get the picture....

Got you there Andy. We have all had those games where you are just searching for a way to finally get an out.

Sad part is, if you resort to using this you still have AT LEAST 1 more out to go ...

But...there might just be an alert infielder who could get someone doubled up!
