It's so much easier to give advice as we're both older; and after the fact.

For the next time then:
Advise the umpire(s) who do have the game that there's a catcher not appropriately protected. Then let them handle it.

Ignore the parent entirely . . . "You need to discuss that with Mr. Jones, Ma'am. I'd hate to see any kid smacked in the face with a bad throw; just trying to keep 'em safe."

A similar situation (not really) last week at MY field. Lightning. We suspended the game immediately; and waited. We then went to the next field to advise the PU what we're doing. "Hey, Blue. We're suspending our game because of lightning. It's up to you; but that's what we did on our field."

As the rains came (about 10-minutes later), MOST folks were appreciative. A couple of "whiners" told us it was none of our business; who cares?
