2 umpire system with runners at first and second base. On a base hit to the outfield, which umpire has the play on the lead runner at third base? Is your answer an absolute or is it "situational" based on where the ball is hit, deep, shallow, etc...?

PU, and shy of a medical emergency, I cannot see any reason it shouldn't be the PU's call.
Don't care where or how hard or soft it is hit, whether a tag play or force out, an umpire shouldn't have that much of a problem as long as they hustle, but that should be something the umpire always does.
