The video of the incident does not show what started the fight, but viewers soon encounter a screaming match between the coach and the umpire near the pitchers’ mound.
The two appeared to make contact and the referee wrapped his arms around the coach. The home base umpire then tries to pull the partner away from the coach, and the two fall to the dirt.
Coaches from both teams rushed to the field to defuse the situation, but several children seemed confused as to what to do.
