It would seem stupid, but not completely unheard of in NCAA sports. I know an official in another sport who is not allowed to work certain positions in that sport at the NCAA level (per his comments to me) despite having worked as an official in the Olympic Games.
The NCAA often uses their own rating system (from what I've heard), and it may or may not make sense with regards to an officials actual abilities.
I suspect this was a case where the umpires agreed that a certain umpire would work game 3 if needed prior to the Super Regional starting.
