My guess is that "everyone" knows who the 5% are. Kick them out of the league. (iow, put in place a suspension system for in-game and post-game problems).
4 hours is way too long for an amateur 9-inning game. Enforce the pace-of-game rules, and / or make week-night games 7 innings and weekend games 9-innings.
The "commissioner" (or board, or league president) needs to be involved and not take the side of the players / managers.
