Yes!
The NFHS umpire has always advocated that the PU take the batter-runner into 3rd base, not the BU.
I don't know an umpire in the world that does that, yet, it's in the book.
Somehow I doubt they are taking any suggestions.

We give our PU's the option, and many of our PU's will take the BR to third. Especially if the BU gets handcuffed with a trouble ball or a ball hit down the RF line.
Just makes it easier for the BU and PU is already there.
So, it might not be standard, but it can work.
Thanks
