Rules favor the runner in a OBS scenario - they should be taught that, not to destroy the catcher.

I had my first player ejection (ever) last week. It truly was "I know it when I see it." Runner lowered her shoulder and crashed into the catcher. I gave an overhand out call, and before my right foot hit the ground I added, "and that player is ejected!" She ejected herself -- I just did the paperwork.
