No. You called an out on Charlie when you ejected him. Three outs! Game's over! Sly's team wins.
You penalized the defensive player (Sly) by ejection; you penalized the offensive player (Charlie) by ejection - and also called an out on his team.

I have little sympathy for anyone that commits USC. Retaliation is just plain stupid and his team is better off without him. You could say that the defense was the 1st ejection and the runner second that way you have no outs provided there are eligible subs.
We must also remember that no rule shall be imposed if it favors the offending team (ASA 10-1-L). With Greymule's play you'd have to signal delayed dead ball and give the defense the opportunity to turn the double play. Same thing if you have bases loaded, no out, and batter has a swinging bunt that stops on the plate, he throws his bat to the backstop while catcher steps on plate with ball and throws to 3rd. THEN I call batter out and ejected triple play! Jim
