Between is used when we deal with 2 entities
Among is used when dealing with more than 2 entities
So, 1 is wrong.
1.The ball fell between three fielders


(2) is wrong because of wrong construction. I prefer to say, the balls were distributed among three fielders.
2.The ball fell among three fielders.


3. The ball fell in between the three fielders.
This is correct.

Hope this helps

Please check the following links. I hope that would help you.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/between

in between is used for the space between and so (3) is correct
