Infield fly rule...

Been gone so maybe I missed the answer. Try again. What does the infield
fly rule say? Some in the group I was with insisted that it said the batter
was automatically out. A couple of others thought that it said that the
runners couldn't run unless there were two outs. I thought it said simply
that the runners "did not have to run" so that only the batter was out
because two can't occupy the same base. Seems that a game lately was lost
because the defense dropped an infield fly with two outs and two runs scored
losing the game. Who's right and can anyone recall that game....

Infield fly rule is in play with LESS than 2 out.
