Single umpire. Two outs. Runners at 1st and 2nd. Batter stikes out, but catcher misses the ball. Runner starts running to 1st, but is called out by the umpire before the catcher has a chance to throw the ball. When questioned, the umpire states that the batter is out if 1st is occupied even with two outs. The coach didn't have the rulebook to show the ump the rule. No attempt was made to argue the call since the ump had already ejected ALL of the parents from BOTH teams (they had to watch the rest of the game from the parking lot). The coaches and scorekeepers where the only ones allowed to stay

My question is this. Do I attempt to "educate" this umpire by giving him a copy of the rule that applies? After the play, he seemed to question himself as to whether he made the right call. We're trying to teach the boys what to do in certain situations and it is confusing to them when the ump makes a call such as this. I'm not interested in rehashing an old game. I just want to see him make the right call the next time this situation comes up.

Suggestions?
