If there are multiple base runners at the time, I suppose you could rule that the conduct broke up a potential double play and call a second base runner out on the actions of a team mate. It would have to be pretty obvious in my book that the defence had a chance at the double play however, before I called the second out. Ejection and an out would seem penalty enough. Can always recommend further susension in extreme cases as stated above.
