mcrowder,
We Generally do games with 2 umps,and in this case the kid that didn't touch third was going to come home,and it was already a close play and if i had been over at third seeing if he touch i would have been really bad out of position thus probably blowing the call. My base ump and i agreed that if there was a play at home i would stay and he would cover third if needed,and he kept his eye on it,even though there was no play. He was on the short stop side of second which put him in a good position to see it. Generally I would call third if the play ended there,but in this case the runner was coming home so i stayed at the plate to call the close play.
Hopefully i made it clearer,if not I appologize..
