Those umpires had a death wish. Why in the heck would anyone want to stand in fair territory on the infield in between innings? If they had to have routine between-inning meetings (which they shouldn't have, and should know better if they're working a district final), then take it into foul territory away from the warm-up drills. Even with such small dimensions, I'm sure there was some space they could've occupied in foul territory.
