There is no stealing and I doubt there will be a 5 man infield, so staying in B should be no problem. If I read correctly, the field umpire is responsible for 1st and 2nd base, the last runner up to third if multiple runners and going out on balls to center and right field, the plate umpire has third and home, fair and foul, balls to left field, and anything to do with the pitch. I know this is over simplifying, but I think this is the basics.

Let me know if I misunderstood.

Mike - Thanks for the help, I was really concerned about being in the right position, but staying in B makes that one less thing I have to worry about.

While the book says that with multiple runners the BU only has the last runner to 3B, I would suggest you prepare to be in position to make a call at 3B on any runner with the exception of the lead runner. The PU must stay at the plate if a play there is possible. However, s/he will never be in a position to make a call at 3B if the throw home is cut and there is a subsequent play at 3B.
