Two notes: you will sometimes see numbers "skipped" to designate outs, example: two outs, R1 on third, R2 on first and B5 at bat.

Also, a few publications will still use the number of the base the runner is on, as in two outs with R1 and R3 to designate runners at first and third. This is used infrequently because (I think) it gets to hard to keep up with advancing runners. "After R1 steals second, an improper batter is discovered"... well is R1 still R1 or is he now R2.
