I've seen shorter hits fall to the ground and not get called as an infield fly...
hmmm... just looked up the rule and it says, "blah, blah, blah which can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort"
and watching the video again, I have to agree that the effort extended wasn't more than ordinary, but that's still a very long hit and few would have blinked if it was called an error with the runners safe.
but I have to agree that the call was correct as the rule is written...
