bah, I am done. Thanks.

I always translate (in my head) "R1 at 3rd, R2 at 2nd R3 at first" as bases loaded, and call them runner at 2B, and so on. I don't have to think as hard that way!
I've wondered before why the nomenclature can't be the same for both sports.
Per the OP, I watched bits and pieces of the game didn't see the plays in question, but thought the officiating was good. The strike zone seemed wide outside, and real tight inside but I wasn't set up too well in the slot! Zone was consistant.
Were either of these calls questioned by the coaching staff?
