Wow! You remember all of those details from a game played 14 years ago?? It must've been a pretty traumatic experience.

It's burned in my brain, at least the last few innings. I got asked to tell the story to the umpires at just about every tourney I went to for the next two years. There was a hearing scheduled by ASA and I had to prepare a statement, and I was supposed to "testify". The players and coach never showed up, so there was no need for me to speak. I never found out what was officially done, but through the grapevine I heard the two that touched me were banned from ASA for life, the other two + the coach were suspended for two years. If so, that was the last JO game ever for all of them.
