The video of the incident does not show what sparked the fight, but viewers are immediately met with the coach and umpire in a screaming match near the pitcher’s mound.

The two appear the make contact with one another, and then the umpire wraps the coach with his arms. The home plate umpire then tries to separate his partner from the coach, and the two fall to the dirt.

Coaches from both sides ran onto the field to break things up, and several children appeared confused as to what to do.
