Lewistown Baseball Post Game Ejection Play

First kid that slides into home was given a post-game ejection and so was our coach.
Game was Technically over as soon as the first kid slid into home. The second kid who scored would have put us one run ahead.

Why were they ejected. Looks to me like the first runner home was diving for the plate, no reason to be ejected.

Not sure what rules they where playing if those are NFHS umpire blow the call, was a slide and I didn't see any thing to indicate malicious contact

its called malicious contact, which is illegal in most amateur baseball leagues
