This sounds like a situation where an umpire probably worked too many games over long period of time. This is why I hardly work summer baseball at all and when really nothing counts the same or gets the same publicity as during the spring time.

Also we do not know the entire situation. We do not know what issues the umpire had to deal with or what the fans were saying to him. He might have had enough and did not care about the consequences. After all we are not talking about the Majors here. He might have been working just for the money and what was taking place was not worth it anymore.
