It's not just a local thing in Connecticut. This is out of their Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference Handbook:
Quote:
7.3 OFFICIALS
7.3.A. CIAC RECOGNIZED OFFICIALS GROUPS
The CIAC has recognized the following officials groups to officiate high school contests:
Connecticut State Board of Approved Baseball Umpires
Connecticut State Board of Approved Basketball Officials
Connecticut Football Officials Association
Connecticut Field Hockey Association Official’s Board
Connecticut Charter of National Association of Women’s Gymnastic Judges
Connecticut Chapter of National Ice Hockey Officials

Connecticut Women’s Lacrosse Officials Association
Connecticut National Federation of Softball Umpires (Affiliated with USA Softball CT)
Connecticut Soccer Officials Association

So apparently the use of softball umpires in CT high school ball are affiliated with USA Softball.
