Welcome to the forum, wish7694.
Sounds like your umpire was having a bad day, and then he made it worse.
He let the [pre?]pubescent lads get to him, but then maybe he was hearing your "next pitch" and somehow was misconstruing your intentions, because of his lack of confidence or because of your tone, that day.
