ejection

[ggk]

i'd like some opinions on an ejection I had today.
i was on the plate today doing a semi-pro summer wood bat league game. they play american league rules. no safety rules. mostly college players, a few guys in their mid to late 20's mixed in.
#20 hit a ground ball and as he took off for first he threw his bat back behind him right into the catchers chest/neck area ( catcher was standing to see the play). BR was thrown out at first. as he jogged back to his dugout I warned him to be careful with the bat and that he just threw it into the catcher. he seemed oblivious - listened to me for a second and then cont'd to his bench. his next time up, he hits another grounder and throws the bat back and this time he hits me solidly on the forearm. huge bruise, instant lump and blood. BR is safe at first on a fielder's choice. i then inform him that he is ejected for throwing the bat again - after he had already been warned. coach takes umbrage to the ejection and my partner even comes in and begins questioning the validity of the ejection. ejection stands - all ejections in this league are supposed to carry a one game suspension and $25 fine. we were doing a DH and the coach asked about the suspension. my partner (who is oblivious to the league rules) instantly chimes in that he can play the 2nd game. i let it go at that rather than cause any more problems.
opinions????
