I was watching my brothers baseball game yesterday and their were runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out and the ball was hit in the air really close between the outfield grass and the infield. The field ump called an infield fly but no one heard him, he said he called and the 2nd basemen also dropped the ball just in tghe outfield so the runners advanced. Then the umps had a meeting and made the runners go back to 1st and 2nd with the batter out. Is this the correct call or should the baserunners be able to stay at 2nd and 3rd since on infield flys you can advance at on your own risk, but the runners didnt know it was an infield fly so they didnt tag up. So what does everyone think of this. It's a little confusing.
