Field Ump positions

[Stat-Man]

My first softball game of the year was interesting. I almost ended up JV Head Coach for a day. Luckily the JV assistant unexpectedly showed up, so I was JV Assistant for a day

I happened to notice that in all of the times the home team had runners at third base, the FU (Field Ump, not FUBlue ) never moved past second base but twice the entire game.

I admit I know less about softball mechanics than I do basketball mechanics, but I was under the impression that in an NFHS 2 person crew, the PU was either between second or third or on the 3rd base line when there was a runner at third. How close am I to being to accurate?

For what it's worth we lost 19-0. But seeing only 4 of 11 players have any experience and we hhave a rookie pitcher, we held up well for a first game. I do look forward to going back to varsity scoring next time though
