A new rule at a South Jersey Little League organization is being implemented to cut down on spectators fighting with volunteer umpires.

After years of trying to figure out how to stop spectators from fighting with umpires, the Deptford Township Little League is trying out a new rule: if you fight with the umps during a game, you have to volunteer your time to umpire three games before you're allowed back as a spectator.

Officials point out that a certified umpire would be there too, to make sure the calls are correct.
