Absolute pandimonium breaks out....the runner on 3rd in his excitement misses the plate by two feet. The runner on 2nd touches the plate, the runner on first misses the plate by a foot or so. And to further complicate matters the histeric 3rd base coach runs up ahead of the batter and "slides" across the plate in a bit of a premature celebration.
The coach of the defensive team dashes up to the plate umpire to appeal the missed base and the umpire saye "coach....the ball was over the fence....dead ball...therefore there can be no appeal. I'm outta here".

What age kids is this? sounds kind of strange for two kids to miss the plate much less by several feet like you stated above.
Also, what is a 3rd base coach doing sliding across the plate????
Don't think that would be happening if I was calling the game.
If this is FED ball, the umpire was wrong. If he didn't want to stick around he should have been long gone before everyone got around to touching home.
Thanks
