I gave the entire team a warning that anymore would result in ejections and/or forfeit.
About 2 "reasonably" quiet innins later, the coach of the visiting team approached me at the plate & said he felt that I was making calls against them purposefully since I issued the warning....I assured him that I was not.
Next play, Catcher (visiting team in field) misses tag on runner coming home, and starts hollering, I let it go (my mistake).....but the next pitch, I call "STRIKE" and catcher (visiting team) turns around and says, "Strike? I thought it hit the plate."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Comments please.

...the coach of the visiting team approached me at the plate & said he felt that I was making calls against them purposefully since I issued the warning...

He questioned your integrity. That's an IMMEDIATE ejection.
