I think the threat of spending the rest of the tournament outside of the complex really hit the kid. Besides, the TD was also the state director so there would have been some potential for the kid to have more problems down the road.

Added note: we never had problems with the kid ever since, because he was told if he ever acted like that again, he'd be done in USSSA softball.
I'm of the opinion that you just left a mess - potentially with every player and coach present - when you failed to eject someone who earned an ejection. That mess will get larger and will need to be cleaned up by another umpire at a future time - and maybe even in a situation a bit more escalated than your's was. Thanks - greatly appreciated.
