Bases loaded, no outs. B4 hits a infield fly ball. U2 calls out B4. R1 thinking the ball will not be caught, advances past R2, just beyond 2B. The fly ball hits R2 while he is off second base. You rule:

a. B4 is out on the infield fly, all other runners return to their respective bases
b. Only R1 is out
c. Only R3 and B4 are out
d. Triple play, the inning is over.

By the way, my answer is D.

I'll start get the ball rolling with 8-4-1j It might be necessary to check the Case book as well.

It's the answer to a cpmmon baseball trivia question: "How can you get three outs without having the defense touch the ball?"
