It's a forfeit because the team "refused to continue to play" (yes, in this sitch I realize they're refusing/declining to continue to play offense), but the fact remains that fro all intents and purposes they're saying..."we've had enough, we don't want to play anymore."
I'm not suggesting the umpire not file the required reports, but more toward LJ's concern that it bothered him.

ASA had a proposed change a couple years ago that would have allowed such a move legal. I believe there is a sanctioning body which does allow this presently.
