It is wrong for the umpire to grant time in this situation. A more experienced blue will not allow this. Better luck in the next game!

Your assumption is 100% correct. Usually this town/league puts out VERY good umpires, but that was obviously not the case last night. As a former coach, I put a lot of effort into learning the rules. So, it's frustrating as a parent/spectator to observe these situations. (By the way, "my" kids won in spite of the whole mess).
