I tried explaining that the plate umpire has the final decision with regards to the count but may refer to the official scorekeeper if there is some confusion, however, she was insisting that because she was the official scorekeeper, her count was the correct one.

I don't know about anyone else, but if I hear someone from the crowd asking for time, I don't even turn around.

Am I wrong?

What crowd? What scorekeeper? Politely decline to discuss in as few words as possible. "There is no procedure" should be short enough.
