1. I don't think the infield fly rule would apply in the case of a line drive -- even a soft one.
2. Are you sure the shortstop didn't run past second base and tag Marte? Was Marte running on the play?

Actually, IFR could apply to a liner. It's a judgement call by the ump. The key thing is that the ump recognizes that a player has an opportunity to klank a routine fly or liner, in order to get a DP, and calls that before the catch is made.
