He was way off base.

A kickball umpire is suing the mayor of a South Carolina town, saying the pol got him fired for making a call against his team, according to a report.

Graylnn Moran Jr. claims Mayor Michael Lockliear, who runs the tiny town of Moncks Corner, pulled strings to have him yanked from his part-time gig, according to thestate.com.

The kickball diamond dust-up began at an Aug. 6 game, when the mayor allegedly flipped out and began screaming at the umpire because he called Lockliear’s adult son “out” at home plate, according to the report.

Moran, who made roughly $1,200 per season working at the Moncks Corner Regional Recreational Complex, was later told by his boss he’d be let go, according to the outlet, which cited a lawsuit filed Friday in Berkeley County.

In the suit, Moran claims the town’s recreation director, Becky Ellison, called Moran’s employer — a contractor for the town — and asked that Moran be reassigned based on orders from the mayor.

Moran’s lawyer, Tom Fernandez, called foul.

“The message [is] that our politicians cannot bully private citizens and get away with it,” he said, adding the case is about more than money. “The amount is not really the target.”

Moran is so furious, he’s demanding that the state Attorney General’s Office investigate the mayor for misconduct, calling it a “crime of moral turpitude” in a letter to the office, according to the outlet.

But the state’s top prosecutor refused to take the case.

Robert Kittle, a spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office, said an investigation would be up to law enforcement.

“If there were to be an investigation for misconduct in office, that would start with the local solicitor,” Kittle said. “So we would not necessarily be involved.”
