In my area, we simply give the balls to the Home Coach especially in the Spring where the fields are damp or muddy.
I do not wait until the defense leaves. My partner or I make a mental note of what happened but do not deviate from our normal routine of exiting a game.
If there were a "true" miss of a base on a game ending play, the coach will not Hesitate, he will make certain the umpires are notified.
In a nutshell, when the game is over I hand the Home coach the baseballs, greet my partner and head for my car. No different than any other game.
The coach has ample time to appeal if he should so choose. However, I do not hesitate, hang around etc.
