Umpire's liabilities

[oppool]

Question how far do are liabilities and responibility go on injured players??

SIT: Thursday night co-ed D league big husky boy hits line drive to a female F3 ball knicks off of glove and hits F3 squarely in the forehead knocking her down but not out. She is down for about a minute than her foolish teammates help her to her feet where she about falls back down several times before being assisted to the dugout. She tries to tell everybody she is alright and wants to come back in the game her coach also says that he wants to let her come back in. Myself and the other umpire persuade her and the coach to keep her out for at least a inning not having any real medical expertise feel the player probably at least has a mild concussion. She reenters the game the next inning and even on her next at bat hits a liner to left but I still feel and wonder if we should of refused to let her back in the game that night. Also if we had refused, her team would have had to play the remaining of the game short-handed would the coach be able to protest??
