| Aug. 23 Nancy Allen Men's 55 1438 posts | Infield fly rule There has to be a runner on at least first and second and less than two outs. It also has to be a routine pop-up. If there was only a runner on first, the infield fly rule would not be in effect. |

If the ball is intentionally dropped, the only out should be the forced out at second. Without the infield flyl rule when runners are on first and second or first second and third, a dropped ball could lead to a double play. |
