Apparently, neither you nor the umpire at this game had a correct understanding of the "no huddle" rule in high school softball. And to top it off, the umpire possibly might be lacking in game management skills.
If the umpire seems "powerless" to control a team comprised of high school girls, he needs to either: a) grow a pair, or; b) brush up on his game management techniques.
As for your last question, this is easy. "Girls, the inning is over. Clear the field and take your huddle outside the fence!", delivered in a loud, firm, assertive, mean-old-umpire tone of voice, should be a good start.
If they continue, take the issue up with their coach.
