NCAA D3 regional so NCAA rules. Bases loaded no outs. Batter hits a bloop pop the pitcher has to come off the mound to catch. He was positioned under the ball. It was an obvious infield fly. But it wasn’t called. I didn’t hear it. No one near me heard it.
The pitcher didn’t hear it. He did the smart thing, dropped the ball, threw home for the force, catcher threw to third for two, third baseman threw to second for a triple play.
The umpires conferred for a few minutes and called the batter out and all runners remain on their base. The umpires did the wrong thing by not indicating infield fly. But did they double down on their error calling it infield fly and not a triple play after the fact.
