Anytime the clock reads 0:00 at the end of a play (since plays are allowed to complete unlike basketball or hockey), the quarter is over.

Regardless, MilB Umpire Manual clarifies: "If on an Infield Fly rule the infielder intentionally drops a fair ball, the ball remains in play despite the provisions of Official Baseball Rule 5.09(a)(12). "

Last clause of 5.09(a)(12) "APPROVED RULING: In this situation, the batter is not out if the infielder permits the ball to drop untouched to the ground, except when the Infield Fly rule applies" is meant to indicate it's a live ball. MLBUM 2019 doesn't clarify. MiLBUM 2021 does

That very last clause is meant to indicate the intentional drop Approved Ruling does NOT apply to an intentionally dropped Infield Fly. The MiLB Umpire clarifies that (at least as of 2021 version. Newer versions aren't publicly attainable).

Fair enough. I haven’t seen that view. I’m assuming you aren’t, but for completness, being further down the RF line (as that photo shows) wouldn’t count for passing.
1:10 of this is a good example of just enough gap. youtube.com/watch?v=o9n4jbxr…
