I am also going to meet with Peter Contreras over in the UIL office to see if I can get the PA News press credentials pulled for the state baseball tournament... the fact that this isn't the first time that he's written this story will definately be brought up... I don't blame everyone down there for scratching the son of a buck, foot I would scratch his rear too

Don't waste your time. There is that freedom of press thing that will be thrown in your face. I don't think the press is someone TASO or UIL will want to tick off. Challenging a reporter is one thing, but if they start restricting access based on an editorial content, they may feel the wrath of the entire press corps or get no coverage whatsoever.
Then you may have a restriction of trade issue by delivering a reporter/umpire an ultimatum.
It is probably better handled at the local association level. Hopefully, his association has a few clauses in the constitution/by-laws addressing this issue.
