The 2011 Umpire Manual, on page 259:

There are four times a base umpire will make a call at third base:
1. On the B-R on a triple with no runners on base.
2. On the last runner into third base.
3. On a lone runner on fly ball advancement.
4. On any return throw from the plate area or a cut-off by a player.

This year's manual, on page 258 has the scenario for a runner on second base only -Fast Pitch:

Fly ball to the outfield:
P- Move out from behind the plate to get the best angle and distance possible. Responsible for fair/foul, catch or no catch, any play on the lead runner at 3B and any play at the plate.
B- Choose to go to the outfield to make the call or hustle inside the diamond toward 1B, buttonhook, pick up the ball and glance at the runner. Responsible for the tag up at 2B, any play at 1B, or 2B and the last runner to 3B.

The Umpire Manual section seems different this year. Was the between inning mechanics inadvertently omitted?
