I agree it's a HTBT...however, if the situation occurred as you say it did, I would have thrown the runner out of the game immediately after calling her out for interference. Unfortunately, it is a 95% probability that my ejection would be overturned by either the tournament UIC or tournament director.

Ejecting the base runner is a judgement call by the umpire and usually only happens if the girl lowers her shoulder or throws an elbow during the play. If there was only one out you need to coach your 2B to tag the runner advancing from 1B and then throw to first for the double play.

Then if they want to umpire the game, give'em you indicator and head for the shade.
