You go to whom you perceive to be the next in command of the team and inform him/her that if they would like the game to continue, they need to have the ejected individual leave the property.
If s/he tells you they are not in charge, inform them of the field promotion and reiterate the "suggestion".
If the coach is still there and no one from the team is making an effort to satisfy your request, gather your partner, walk to the opposing scorekeeper, sign the book effecting a forfeit and leave the field.
Please note: Forfeiting a game is the last resort. OTOH, it is something that an umpire cannot be afraid to do should the occasion call for it.
