Ejection report

In some sports around here, many officials also call their assigner on their way home, besides filling out a DQ form on the PIAA website.

This.

Here's what I do (haven't had to eject anyone in baseball yet, but I've done it in football on two occasions)

1) When the ejection happens, write down the specifics on your game/lineup card immediately (Who, what inning, runners on base, number of outs, player batting).
2) as soon as you get home, call your assigner (some will even call the assigner while driving home... I don't because I don't like talking on my phone while driving, even with the speakerphone).
3) As soon as you're done talking to your assigner, do whatever he tells you to do. My assigner requested that we send him (and our association clinician) an email documenting the specifics of the ejection, so they can proofread it before I send it to the state office.
4) File your report with the state office (MN requires it within 24 hours).

Keep your report short, simple, and factual. Leave your emotions and opinions out of it.
