Unless this was a championship game in a tournament (and maybe even then), I would strongly consider calling "time" as soon as I see both teams leaving the field and/or the base coach about to physically assist a runner, and inform everyone that there are only 2 outs. It'd be preventative umpiring, in my opinion - especially in crap SP. And fwiw, I've stopped working (for now) that game as well, because I'm in a frame of mind where I just can't stand it right now (and couldn't stand it at the end of last year) - both from a who-my-crap-partner's-going-to-be-tonight perspective, and also (and mainly) from a I-don't-want-to-deal-with-these-weekend-warriors'-crap-anymore-for-any-amount-of-money point of view.
