what was going on ?

Was watching the LL world series last night. Did anyone see the appeal attempt after the home run. The coach was trying to get the pitcher to appeal at 1B, but he did'nt seem to understand. Finally the kid runs over to the first base umpire and tells him he wants to appeal 1B and the umpire tells him the ball needs to be put back in play first. So the kid runs back to the mound and the batter steps in . The plate umpire calls play and then steps out and calls time. This happened several times and finally they just gave up on the appeal. What the heck was going on ? I was laughing and my wife wanted to know what was so funny. When I told here she preceeded to tell me I was the only person she knew who watches a ballgame to see what the umpires are doing.
