Rule Challenge

[alabamabluezebra]

I had an assistant coach on a local team that loves to question rule interpretations. I was the PU and after his team completed their turn at bat, he asked me why I didn't invoke the infield fly rule when the pitcher caught a high fly ball. I told him I did last inning. He said "No, this inning". I said "There was no infield fly rule situation". He said " Yes, on the first out of the inning". I aked him how many runners were on base. He said "One, the runner on first". I explained to him that the infield fly rule was only in effect with less than two outs, with runners on 1st and 2nd, or with the bases loaded. He took two steps and said "You wanna bet a coke on it?" I said "how about $100?" I hated that I didn't have my rule book handy. He never came back by after our conversation. Go figure.
