Infield Fly Rule Clarification and Related Baseball Q&A
The answer states this is not an infield fly since the bunt attempt and pop occurs between plates and third base. An infield fly requires a fair ball that can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort, with runners on first and second and less than two outs. Pee Wee Reese batted over .300 only once for the Dodgers, hitting about .286 in 1951. Neal Ball completed the first unassisted triple play in 1909 for Cleveland.
