Okay. I'm seeing a "sinking" line drive as something that would not be behind an outfielder.

NCAA is not similar to ASA. They use the umpire ahead theory. That means that PU would be up to 3B for the play into the bag if R1 tags and goes to 3B.

To the best of my knowledge, every 3-umpire system is based on a base-ahead theory. However, in ASA's 3-umpire system, the base umpire always has the last runner to 3B. On a caught ball, the tag and call at 3B would be the umpire in the infield and the PU stays a base ahead and covers home.
With a single runner and two umpires, what sense does it make to pull the PU from the plate. If this were just a 2-umpire game and the BU didn't go out, would the PU have the call at 3B?
