nbabest9 confuses baseball with basketball. 6 - 3 mean the shortstop threw to the first baseman for the putout. The fielders are numbered to enable shorthand scoring thus: Pitcher 1, catcher 2, first baseman 3, second baseman 4, third baseman 5, shortstop 6, left fielder 7, center fielder 8, right fielder 9.
For example a fly out to right field is scored "F9." Or "F-9." Another example: a double play on a grounder to second baseman who throws to shortstop, who then throws to first is simply scored "4-6-3."

6-12 represent the spot on the bench, while 1-5 represent the starters, 5=Center, 4=Power Forward, and so on.

6 is the shortstop. 3 is the first baseman.
Here's the full list.
1 - Pitcher
2 - Catcher
3 - First base
4 - Second base
5 - Third base
6 - Shortstop
7 - left field
8 - center field
9 - right field
The guy who said 6 was the third baseman is wrong.
