OK, I am hearing you describe a constant barrage of abusive comments directed at the umpire. If it was not that, then disregard...

If they were fans of one of the teams in the game, have a discussion with the coach. Ask for his help in controlling his fans.

Suspend the game until either the TD handles it or the coach does.

Yeah doing that would have been virtually impossible. The only thing he could do was to do exactly what he did. Try to ignore it. It toned down after a while, but he just never caught a break all weekend long.

Had this in a HS game a few years ago - only difference was the winning run was walked in. According to NF ruling, the only players that need to complete their passage to the next base was the BR and R3. If there had been 2 outs and the BR did not touch first - they could have put her out, but not R2 and R1.

I'm wondering why anyone was confused. Was it because the play came from the outfield? What if the play had been a ground ball to F4, who foolishly threw to 1B for the second out while the winning run scored, and then F3 threw to some other base to "put out" on one of the other runners, after the run had crossed the plate? Would anyone think such a belated third out nullified the run? I'm puzzled as to why this play was "talked about all weekend."

The key words are "losing team went ballistic because they believed "
