I don't do baseball, but it is standard practice for all UIL (Texas state assn.) sports that when the game starts, that constitutes acceptance of the officials. So there is nothing left to do here. The losing team can blame no one but themselves, since if they were concerned enough about who was going to umpire, they should have gotten in touch with UIL 24-48 hours prior to the game.
It is very likely the coach of the team that picked the officials lied to the SA assignor (or assignment committee member, whoever he talked with). I'm familiar with UIL assignments in both football and basketball and I don't think either coach is involved until they get the list of officials assigned. They still have the ability to not approve the officials, but in practice they generally don't do that. In this case, it appears they agreed to have the UIL call the SA chapter to assign (something that doesn't happen much). I'm not sure what the point of getting UIL involved if they had both agreed to use SA.
