Next time I will call time and let him know I won't have any more. It happened late in the game so I was caught off guard.

Good on you!
When I quit, I quit immediately. I Sent an email stating my reasons why. The people were horrible, it was like woodstock with the smell of Pot (I was umpiring with my shirt over my nose it was so bad), there was too much drinking, horrible arguing over simple rules that they did not believe in, etc etc etc, it was a nightmare.
I am also in the same boat in that my local beer league is close, my tourney ball is many many km's away. I dont regret leaving one bit.
