Don't know if it is proper or not, but my "normal" partner and I do this all the time. Particularly on a grounder to deep F3 or similar when BU has to go into foul territory. We have the base umpire make the call at first and if there is an overthrow or such, the PU goes to second and the BU watches to insure the ball does not go into DBT. He will then head for home if the ladies start "throwing the ball around" and making other errors.
FYI, we also "go out" much more than others. It takes extra hussle, but not only do I think it gives better coverage, it makes us keep our heads in the game.
