Question #1 Bases are loaded with no outs. The batter squares and bunts a pop fly right to the pitcher who drops the ball. But the pitcher picks up the ball, throws to the catcher who steps on home plate before the runner coming in from third base. What should the umpire's call(s) be?
	Infield fly, the batter is out. The runner coming from third is also out.
	Infield fly, the batter is out. There is no longer a force play at home, so the runner from third scores (he was never tagged).
	No infield fly, the batter is safe at first. The runner from third is forced out at home.
	Infield fly, the batter is out and the ball is dead. Runners return to their original bases.
