Our baserunning is very exceptional. We drafted our team that all players have good speed. In a recent softball game, I again ran my players very aggressively. There was a flyball between 2nd and 1st which the 2nd baseman caught and I agressively ran both my 2nd base runner and 3rd base runner to advance after the catch. I payed close attention to my 3rd base runner to ensure she tagged. She tagged and scored easily. The umpire stated he called time and sent my runners back to their original bases. He then made the comment that I am way ahead in the game and why and I sending my runners. I said nothing. He then went to the manager of our team and gave me a warning. We finally won the 2 hr and 25 minute game that should only take 1 hr & 15 minutes for a 7 inning softball game. His strike zone made it very difficult for both teams...28 walks. The first game this umpire had with us there were 38 walks and the game took 2 hrs and 35 minutes. Recently we lost and that umpire came up to me and said that maybe we would have won if he umpired. At least you would have had alot of walks.
I said nothing to him. How should I handle this situation?
Thank you
