Well, as long as the umpire has not left the confines of the field, he can make a ruling as to what the score actually is. If he left, then it's up to the league to take care of the situation.
If the umpire decides that the home book is right and won't confer with anybody, then it stands (and once again becomes a league problem). If he acknowledges the mistake the game will (should. . .) continue. If players already left and can't be called back, that's too bad for their team--that could result in a game being over on that alone.
But it sounds to me like the visiting coach actually forfeited, if what you say is true. LOL!
