And this play from Referee is why I think the terminology is ludicrous:

1. R3 is on third base and R2 is on second when B4 hits a ground ball to F6. While running to third, R2 inadvertently hinders F6 who is fielding the ball. At the time of the hindrance, R3 has not reached the plate.

To go with a Sheldonism, "In what universe is there any order which runs, 3, 2, 4?" What happened to "1"?

The softball method also allows for continuity in extended and continuations of any scenario(s). The baseball method is a one and done and a complete reset.

And that is my personal preference.
