The assault on the catcher. It was OBS, but that doesn't give the runner the right to run over her.

2) Why wasn't the Texas runner ejected for giving the Oregon catcher after being tagged out in the third inning?
Apparently, that instance is what caused warnings to both benches.

3) Later in the game why wasn't the Texas batter/runner ejected for malicious contact when she was tagged out by the Oregon first baseman?
Problem with NCAA ball. Too many people still do believe it is baseball for girls/women and believe the players should just "toughen up" if they are going to play the game. That's okay. The day will come where criminal charges are filed, personal injury lawsuit filed and won and they will not have a choice.

Personally, ejection wouldn't be a second thought especially after what had already occurred in the game.

BTW, the ejected player was given a two-game suspension and is not eligible for this game, nor the next if they advance.
