If I see something obvious like that, I'm definitely giving the coach a warning.

"Coach, if your girls don't stop intentionally blocking the bases, I'm going to start ejecting players for behaving in an unsportsmanlike manner."

What's so hard about this? There's no way players would behave that way without some instruction from a coach, and if a coach is giving his/her players to behave this way, make the coach responsible for the players' conduct.
