A 14U team I coach was in a tournament where we were allowed to bat our roster. One of my players was ejected for throwing his bat. The umpire told me that since I did not have a substitute, the ejected player's turn at bat would be an automatic out. The game ended in a tie, so we went to international tie-breaker with runner on second and one out. My ejected player was the last recorded out for us in the previous inning, so the umpire ruled that we were not allowed to have a base runner, and we would start the inning with two outs instead of one. Was this correct?

It's not covered in any "official" rules that I know of. IF it's not in the tournament rules, then the umpire gets to decide.
It's not what I would have done, BTW.
