Citing observers, Deadspin reported that the situation escalated when Williams, who was coaching first base, shouted to a parent about getting the umpire fired. That sparked a face-to-face argument on the field in front of the players and parents.

Williams was reportedly restrained by other coaches, then refused to leave the field for 10 minutes.

"He went nuts," a source told Deadspin. "He got into the umpire's face like it was the major leagues."

Williams took to Twitter to explain and apologize.
