This happened in my son's 13u baseball game but I figured I would ask here. Runners at 1st and 2nd, one out. Very windy day, 40-50 mph wind gusts. The batter hits a high pop fly straight up, that blows towards the pitchers mound. The catcher doesn't leave the plate and the pitcher lost it and covered his head. Infield fly is called, batter is out. The ball lands about 10 feet from the mound. The backspin causes the ball to roll back and goes foul, untouched. The catcher picks up the ball roughly 5 ft into foul territory. I have 2 questions about the play.
1. Should it be called in the first place? In normal weather, it's the correct call everyday. Being that this is 13u A ball, it had been proven all day that there were no routine pop-flies due to the wind. It's a discretionary call anyway.
2. Should the call be reversed once the ball rolled foul?
