Peter, drawing a line is an ejection. That's my opinion and nearly every high level umpire I work with. I work Sandy Koufax to Men's League, including College. Your calling strikes that aren't strikes is sending a message...just not the one you intended.
Eject the player. Now you've sent a message. calling balls as strikes is bush.
And I'm saying eject the 14 year old as well. don't just save it for the high schoolers. Teach them a lesson while they are young enough to learn it.
