Not sure why this isn't clear.

Not clear to Rich, who thinks baseball nomenclature, where the runner numbering based on the base the runner occupied at the TOP, not which runner is furthest advanced.
So, to him, R1 was on 1st, not third; and R3 was on 3rd, not first.
Not looking to start the inevitable "which is a better system" discussion, just pointing out the reason.
