Reply to "error on infield fly call?"

You certainly can go back and "fix" it. In fact, you must. If the conditions are there, the infield fly rule is in effect even if the umpires fail to call it properly. (Whether or not they eventually get the call right is another matter.) The runners are supposed to know when the infield fly rule is in effect. If they left their bases and were tagged out, the out(s) would stand, even if the IFR were invoked after the fact. Not a pretty situation, but that's the way it is.
