Out coached. Clock management is an important part of softball, at least until you advance to full games.
Your team's parents need to be educated that "going ballistic" towards the umps, NEVER HELPS, and usually hurts the team. Maybe the ump would have added time for the blatant stalling, had it not been for your team's bleachers telling him how to umpire a game.
End of the day, both teams had equal number of "at bats" and your team came up 1 short.
After game we actually talked with the ump. When asked why she didn't do anything about the stalling she just apologized and said she shouldn't have let it happen and she was extremely remorseful. The other field ump just said it was a chicken bleep move to win a game that way. I think she removed herself from the remaining games we played including the championship game. So now you have the ump's perspective. Cheater!
