The first play (at 1B) is the first responsibility, then release to 3B. If a runner is going from 1 to 3, and is very fast, it is possible that the plate umpire might not make it all the way to 3B when the play happens.

ASA is not as detailed, but appears to be similar, trailing the runner first.
Not clear to me what U3 should be doing in this sitch.
