Texas high school softball catcher knock runners to ground

Kind of between HS Seasons here so I thought I'd bring this up.  To me it's clear that she should have been ejected, but she wasn't.  Nor was she even warned.  Very dirty play, in my opinion.

Obviously, she should have been warned at the very least.

I'm not sure what the slide rules are in softball, but when coaching my kids in baseball, I've always told them to slide if the catcher is standing on home plate.  I've taught them to assume there will be a play at home if the catcher is standing there.  If they run over the catcher, the runner will likely be ejected...whether there is a play there or not.  But, if they slide, they will not be ejected.  Plus, if they slide and knock the catcher down because he is standing on home plate, there's a good chance he won't do that again.
