I was prepared to take that position before the baseball incident. The person I was when I was growing up would have played baseball* when no one was there, but a full parking lot and cello music coming from inside? Fuhgeddaboutit. And I would have yelled "Scatter!" upon seeing a man in black, for sure. But the mom seems pretty fucking entitled, and your position shows me she's not making it up, so thanks for the data point.
*I probably would have been the one saying "Guys, I don't think we should be doing this" but the other boys would have won out.
ETA: I probably failed to communicate in my first post that the church's property is probably 400' x 100', meaning the baseball game wasn't occurring on a back lot -- it was on the front lawn, 20 feet from the concert. So it's not like the two things could happen simultaneously with only a little bit of compromise.
