I think level of play must be considered as well.
16-18A/Gold and mens A-C.. which is what I usually work for tournies.. mostly anything is intentional. They know what they are doing.. or in the alternative SHOULD know what they are doing and you can more easily determine if something is malicious enough to warrant ejection.
Whereas, the water is muddy at 10U and rec league or lower levels of play.
Im not saying the qualifiers arent there (lowering shoulder is of course #1).. but its easier to hold a player accountable who probably does know, but definately should know.
For this OP, the age group along makes me want to just say DB-Out.
If that was a Mens FP player running over a catcher, hes gone - Im not going to wonder if it is malicious, because it IS malicious do it at all. He knows it is and furthermore everyone is then and there on notice I'm not tolerating that crap.
