Q #17: With a runner on first base and 1 out, the batter hits a pop up right to the second baseman. The second baseman gets under the ball and then backs up a few steps to let the ball fall to the ground untouched in front of him. He then turns the easy double play--second to first. What would you call? Infield fly rule? Double play? Just one out--which runners?
A #17:: Double play. The infield fly rule does not apply here as first base is the only base occupied. The intentionally dropped rule does not apply here as the fielder never touched the ball. The play stands.
