The umpire was wrong to permit the pitcher that was removed to return.
Under USSSA rules a pitcher must throw all four pitches for the intentional walk, they are not permitted to issue a verbal pass. With that said, sometimes local tournaments issue tournament specific rules, and may have allowed verbal intentional walks in the interest of trying to speed up games.
