I know of no case plays that would say otherwise on how the umpire called this play based on the rule and any case play I am aware of. F3 was playing up and I fully understand the ball was not hit toward f3. But f4 was also not playing the ball and had vacated their position to cover 2nd. Why are we even talking about f5 and f6, the ball was not hit that direction and they have no bearing on anything having to do with this play. The ball had passed an infielder, f3 and apparently the umpire judged no other fielder had the opportunity to make an out. The is absolutely the correct call.
