I know that many here look down upon NFHS Rules, but some of us here only work NFHS Rules, and logically it makes sense: R1 on 3B, next two batters make outs, R4 on 1B, and B5 is the Batter.
I will admit that labeling the Umpires U1 for the P and U2, etc. for the Bases is stupid.

That's not the nomenclature, though. There would never be an R4. If your scenario happened, it would be R1 on third base, R2 on first base. I've never seen an R4 referenced in a case play.
(How would this ever be easier than saying: "R1, R3, 2 outs"? I get the softball-only umpires not liking the much better baseball nomenclature because they hate everything to do with baseball, but why would anyone use the FED way over the much easier "normal" way?)
