In our area, the rule from the county athletic association is that 2 ejections on the same team for unsportsmanlike conduct results in a forfeit. I tossed a 15 yr old HS player for throwing his helmet in anger after a call 3rd strike. As he was walking away from home plate, he extended his hand above his head and displayed a middle finger. Since he is already ejected and does not get a free shot at me, I ejected the coach for his players conduct. Game over, no protest from coach or fans. I did hear from the coach later that that was not the first time he had trouble with this player and that he had requested that he not show up for the rest of the season.
Have fun out there.
