Chris IMO you handled the problem as best you could but I would like to make another comment on your situation and call it Summer-Time Blues
Your scenario is another case involving Summer Ball programs that basically have little or no discipline at all.
No matter what you did - you are the bad guy
I too have had some troubles in summer ball and that includes some LL games as well. Next year I am going to take a real hard look at the summer schedule and stick with only those leagues that do have disciplinary action and have a strong BOD.
It's just not worth it to umpire games in this manner. Even if we make a mistake (which is inevitable) we shouldn't have to endure all that wrath.
So my recommendation to you is to seek out leagues / associations that have some form of discipline assigned to them. Also, join an umpires association that looks out for their fellow blues
It seems to me that only bad things can happen if you keep umpiring in this league.
