LIIRISHMAN,
How was he cheating?

Mick,

I believe he thinks the defense intentionally abandoned the field to lure the runners off their bases.

Keen play, but if you are going to do something like that, it would be wise to let the umpires know ahead of time.

However, as an umpire, the second I believe there is something askew and begin to look into it, I am now performing administrative duties relating to the game at hand and play is suspended under those conditions.

See, us umpires can be a bit sneaky, too
