Berkeley Township police say 43-year-old Thomas Murphy was given summonses for simple assault and simple assault at a sporting event in the presence of children under 16.
Thursday's game between the Little League Dodgers and Mets included players who ranged in age from 10- to 12-years-old.
Detective Sgt. Jim Smith tells the Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/ZEaF4v ) there was an argument about a call on the base paths and the coach smacked the teenage ump in the ear after the umpire threw him out of the game.
The umpire didn't require medical treatment.
