I've been told Fed used to use that rule for baseball and softball. I think they changed it because so many coaches got ejected when you had 3 outs and only two batters! ! !

Can't help it if they can't count. There are three batters, it's just that one forgot to bat
A couple of years ago when this first hit ASA rules, I had this call in the first or second game of the season.
B1 got a single. B2 too busy talking to girlfriend. B3 hits into a double play. When B4 comes to the plate, the opposing manager protests that B3 batted out of order.
Sure enough, I had three outs on two pitches. Now, those are my type of half-innings!
