The coach pulls his players off the field while i come out to talk to the homeplate ump. the base ump says the inning is over. Not knowing all of the rules I say fine and walk away. We end up having to play extra innings as a result. Can that baseump do that.

It shouldn't have happened as you described. Calls can be changed but only the umpire making the call should change the call. Other umpires can offer additional information but not change their partner's call.
Contact the umpire assignor for the association supplying the officials. Let him/her know what happened.
