He at one point told player to just go into the dugout, forcing me to call her out and the game to continue on.

My question is if coach tells player to go to dugout can I justify something along the lines of restricting him to dugout or possible ejection for not playing within the spirit of the rules or should I just ring up the out and move on ?

He eventually sent girl home and we had a game over....

If the coach doesn't want his player to score and end the game. Just tell him the that game already over and his team lost by forfeit.
