The runner goes into catcher hard, knocking her down and dislodging the ball. Runner was called out and warned. If its not a "slide" play, what should she have done? Just not make hard contact I guess.
Never "goes into catcher hard, knocking her down and dislodging the ball".
Yes, out for INT, catcher/fielder had ball ready for tag and runner did that.
Warning also needed; if not ejected for flagrant crash.

Runner must avoid by slide, dodge, jump, surrender, etc.
