Depends upon the field. Also, it's better to be "safe then sorry" meaning perhaps this umpire thought there could be "trouble" out in the LF corner somewhere so he followed the ball.

You still have 2 umpires left so the 2 umpires who are left simply revert back to 2 man mechanics.

Since we only have one runner U1 would take the BR all the way around just like he would in 2 man. The PU stays home.
