To sit here and tell you what exactly I would have done, or how you are suppose to handle this situation ,is like having me decide who to throw over board my wife or mother, in order to save the ship.
All of this stuff depends on the level of play, importance of game and experience and confidence of the official or officials.
I am not sure, but it does not sound as if these games were HS Varsity, American Legion or even SR. League baseball. Most likely LL. I know, there are those that live in this black and white world that will say, it doesn't matter. Well they can stop reading here.
First of all, I would have had to be there. But most probably I would have handled the calls the same way. Lets all say this over and over, its only a game , its only a game, its only a game. Those players will remember you more for you human side than your officiating abilty. To me thats more important. We were all Human Beings long before we became officials.
Sometimes doing a real good job, is not always by the book.
