Pretty simple
In the OP's scenario, I either:
(1) Wait until the B/R and all forced runners legally acquire their advance base, or,
(2) Wait until the time for a defensive appeal has expired
and then I start walking toward the exit. I don't yell "ball game". Frankly, the yelling of "ball game" should be on the list of "how to tell your umpire is a 'smitty' ". The players know when the game is over. Just head to the exit. If you have a locker room, then leave the extra baseballs in the locker room. If your car is the locker room, roll the balls over to the home team's dugout on your way out.
I'm guessing that those who say "ball game", are the same ones who wait around home plate to shake hands with players and coaches.
51 to 54 outs. That's all your paid for. Get the hell out of dodge when its over...just make sure its "over" as described above.
