Tuesday, January 6 2009 UMPIRE REGISTRY The 2009 Little League Umpire Registry is now open. You can find out details and register on line. Friday, April 28 Reviewing the Infield Fly Rule The infield fly rule is in effect when before two are out and when 1st and 2nd base, or all bases are occupied. An infield fly ball is a fair ball that is not a line drive or bunt, that can be caught with ordinary effort by an infielder. The rule does not preclude an outfielder from catching a batted ball that has been ruled an infield fly. Either umpire or both shall declare, "infield fly, if fair" The batter runner is out and base runners may advance at their own risk. If the fly ball is caught, base runners must tag up, if the fly ball drops to the ground, base runners may advance at their own risk. In either situation, the batter runner is out. Umpires need to make sure the infield fly ball is not announced too early as what may have started as an infield fly, many end up as a fly ball to the outfield. Once the infield fly rule is declared, it is in effewct and cannot be reversed.
