UPDATE 6/19/17 @ 11 p.m.

PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A youth baseball game in Putnam County on Friday was anything but a home run after a coach allegedly pulled a gun out after a game.

Strauder Little, 32, of Pomeroy, Ohio, is charged with wanton endangerment with a firearm.

Police say the argument continued into the parking lot when the coach pulled a 9mm handgun from his car, pointed it at one of the player's parents and threatened to shoot her between the eyes.

Parents and children began screaming and running for cover.

Shawn Conley witnessed the dispute and was one of the several concerned onlookers who also called 911.

"Apparently the coach and his wife didn't like a few calls made against them in the game," Conley said. "From there they were just berating the officials, berating the kids. And from that point the coach's wife assaulted the mother of one of the kids on the team -- actually physically grabbed her, pushed her back, left bruises on her arm that we saw."

Conley says that's when he saw Little pull the gun out.

"Saying I will shoot you between your eyes," Conley said. "The lady's kids are standing there saying 'Please don't shoot our mother, please don't shoot our mother.' "

WSAZ spoke with Little's wife over the phone. She claims that is not how events played out.

"He was not pointing it at anybody," Brandy Little said. "He never said he was going to shoot anybody between the eyes. He simply said, 'Hey we are leaving. We are not doing this in front of these kids."

Brandy Little claims the woman was actually being aggressive toward her and her daughter, and her husband was just protecting his family when he pulled the gun out. She says it was also unloaded.

Conley says whatever the reason for the dispute, it should not have played out in front of children who were just trying to enjoy a friendly baseball game.

"A kid should never have to worry about their own safety or the safety of their parents because of something that happened in a game," he said.

Brandy Little says to an extent her husband regrets pulling the gun out, but stands by the fact he was protecting his family.

After the dispute, Strauder Little drove off, but was stopped on U.S. 35 by the Putnam County Sheriff's Department.

Strauder Little was transported to Western Regional Jail where he posted bond and was released pending trial.
