You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. If she refuses to bat at that moment, what's a coach to do? He can't force her to bat. He can boot her off the team after that game, but in those 30 or so seconds it takes to call those 3 strikes, there's nothing he can do.

In this scenario, I think things were handled appropriately.

The coach can go shorthanded. There doesn't need to be a reason to go shorthanded as long as it isn't an ejection. Of course, he loses the player in the field, but it is either that or go home.
